Obstetrics and Gynecology Research Electives

During the fourth year, opportunities exist for many varieties of advanced clinical or research experiences.


Sarah England, PhD
Indira Mysorekar, PhD
Celia Santi, PhD

Ramakrishma Kommagani, PhD
Katherine Fuh, MD, PhD

BJC Institute of Health, 10th Floor
Phone: 314-286-1775

During this six-week elective, students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in bench research in reproductive science.

  • Dr. England's laboratory focuses on uterine contractility and ion channels in the uterine myometrium.
  • The Mysorekar lab studies the dynamics of tissue regeneration in the adult mammalian urinary bladder, the pathogenesis of a common infectious disease in women (namely, recurrent urinary tract infections), and the potential infectious etiology of preterm birth in pregnant women.
  • Dr. Santi's work focuses on ion channels in mouse and human sperm.
  • Dr. Fuh investigates cell signaling in ovarian cancer and the biology of ovarian cancer metastasis.

The main criteria for this rotation is that the student must have prior experience as an undergraduate or postgraduate in a laboratory, not including class work. This rotation is designed for the student who is planning a career in academic medicine as a physician-scientist and who is interested in considering reproductive science as a field. Prior to signing up for this course, the student must contact Dr. England to discuss the schedule and expectations of the rotation.

M45 ObGyn 730 OB/GYN Clerkship

All third-year medical students participate in a six-week clinical clerkship in Obstetrics and Gynecology. This is divided into three two-week components of outpatient OB/GYN, inpatient obstetrics and inpatient gynecology. Comprehensive study of the reproductive health needs of women in both the office setting and the surgical setting is the focus of the curriculum. Students are actively involved in all settings of health care delivery: outpatient faculty clinics within all specialties, resident ambulatory clinics, operating rooms for all obstetric or gynecologic cases, inpatient floors of L&D and Gynecology, and the emergency department/hospital inpatient consults. Faculty, fellows, residents, and nurse practitioners provide teaching for this rotation. Student-directed didactics include the faculty and chief resident lecture series, procedural skill station session and faculty-assigned preceptor groups that meet throughout their six-week rotation.

Credit 231 units.

This experience is designed to primarily acquaint the student with the diagnosis and care of outpatients. Students will work one-on-one with attending staff, to focus on an overview of evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of common obstetric and gynecologic concerns. The subintern will spend the majority of time attending half day clinics and private offices. Overnight OB call is required (approximately 2 evening shifts) to acquaint the student with the house staff and hospital, providing opportunity to participate in deliveries. If desired, additional time can be arranged to participate in/observe outpatient surgical procedures. A 30-45 minute presentation to attendings and house staff will culminate the rotation on a selected OB/GYN topic.
