This is a face to face clinical rotation offered in the
fall and spring and receiving 14 credit hours
From 2 to 6 students can be scheduled for the clerkship
per eight-week block. The purpose of this core clerkship experience is to learn
and understand the basic principles and practice of obstetrics and gynecology
and develop a general understanding of women’s health.
Clerks will have two weekend call responsibilities during
the rotation. Students are expected to attend rounds, conferences and lectures
associated with the respective services. The rotation involves both inpatient
and outpatient care of obstetrical and gynecologic patients, including
assisting and/or performing related procedures such as deliveries, ultrasounds
and office procedures as well as major gynecology cases.
During the clinic weeks, students work in both private
and resident offices. Assignment of
grades is based on clinical performance (determined by evaluations from residents
and staff) and scores on the written examination administered at the end of the
rotation. Each student will also give a
short presentation to peers and the clerkship director.
