The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is actively engaged in undergraduate medical education. A summary of our course involvement includes the following:
- Phase 1 Immersions: Labor & Delivery (L&D) and Gynecologic Oncology (GynOnc) are two different Procedural Immersion sites that allow two students on rotation at a time. The L&D site involves the ability to experience clinical encounters with patients in the Women's Assessment Center, antepartum unit, L&D, and postpartum floor. Services will include time with the Ob/Gyn resident teams, laborists, and nurse practitioners; the OB Anesthesia team; lactation consultants; and other practitioners. The GynOnc immersion will include the inpatient floor, the outpatient offices at two different sites, the Gyn operating rooms, and the chemo center. Services will include time with the Gyn resident team and nurse practitioners; the chemo nurses; and pharmacists, social workers, case managers, and others.
- Phase 2 Ob/Gyn Clerkship: This core clerkship includes a full week of dedicated didactic time, three clinical rotations of two weeks in length, and a final week of assessments. Students will have the opportunity to experience the labor and delivery unit, inpatient Gyn specialties, and Ob/Gyn ambulatory settings. Based on the lottery outcome, these experiences will dive into any combination of the inpatient, office, or operating room setting.
- Phase 3 Ob/Gyn ACR, Electives, & Capstone: In this segment of training, students will have greater autonomy in patient care under the supervision of residents, fellows, or attendings. The OB Inpatient ACR includes two weeks of L&D and two weeks of the antepartum unit. The GynOnc ACR includes four weeks of inpatient care, outpatient care, and operating room experiences. In addition, there are a variety of elective options, including Outpatient MFM, Outpatient Generalist, REI, Complex Family Planning, and Ob/Gyn Ultrasound. Finally, the Capstone course provides a very active hands-on curriculum for those who are Ob/Gyn-bound.
No matter what stage our students find themselves in, our department is dedicated to the educational training of our medical students. We want our students to respect and understand the scope of female health care to ensure they will bring this knowledge base to their future clinical practice, regardless of the specialty area.
