OB/GYN residents' training, attitudes, and comfort level regarding genetics.

Purpose: While the availability, utility, and complexity of genetic testing expands, limited information exists regarding obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) residents' knowledge of genetics and confidence in providing genetic services. This study examined OB/GYN residents' educational and clinical experiences with genetics during residency, personal attitudes regarding the value of genetics and its role in their practice, level of comfort with genetic counseling, and potential motivators for learning about genetics.

Methods: Eligible participants included residents currently enrolled in a CREOG-associated OB/GYN training program in the USA or Canada.
