For six consecutive years the U.S. News & World Report recognized Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in the magazine's annual best hospitals issue.  In 2006 this OB/GYN department was ranked 39th in the country.

Banner Good Sam's residency program helps new physicians make the transition from student to specialist by providing the support they need to develop clinical competence, relationship building with patients, methods for life long learning and health management experience.

Residents learn, first-hand, the importance of continuity of care by caring for their own patients at Good Samaritan's outpatient Women's Center under the supervision of faculty.  All major subspecialties are represented and the faculty includes 14 perinatologists, many who enjoy national recognition. This fully accredited program functions on a single campus and accepts seven categorical residents each year for a total of 28.
