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 five-week clinical clerkship in Obstetrics and Gynecology. This is divided into 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 five-week rotation.
Credit 192 units.

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.

Students will see a variety of high-risk obstetrical patients in the outpatient setting in the Center for Outpatient Health. The student will evaluate various types of reproductive-age patients with medical or obstetrical complications, including preconception consultations, prenatal care consultations, and initial prenatal visits. The student will also see return patients to experience the continuity of prenatal care. Students will participate in antenatal testing and learn basic ultrasonography skills. The student will be responsible for one presentation to be given to the OB teams at the end of the rotation. Students are provided independent study time to put together the presentation, which should be created in PowerPoint and on a topic of their choice, inspired by a patient-related clinical condition that piqued their interest during the block. In addition, the student will have the option to take overnight call or call in the Pregnancy Assessment Center in order to gain more hands-on experience with inpatient obstetrics; this is voluntary and not a requirement.
