The Obstetrics and Gynecology clerkship is an 8-week rotation divided into 3 parts: Delivery
Suite, Gynecology, and Obstetrics. Medical students are exposed to the basic
principles of caring for obstetrics and gynecology patients. They will learn
how to take a thorough gynecologic and obstetric history and perform a complete
and adequate pelvic examination. They will participate in both vaginal
deliveries and cesarean sections as well as a variety of gynecologic procedures
where they will be exposed to common gynecologic disease entities. Students
will also learn from a series of didactic lectures covering various high yield
topics in both obstetrics and gynecology, as well as from daily morning reports
and case discussions held with residents and attending physicians. At the end
of the rotation, practical and theoretical assessments are performed.
