Gynecologic Oncology Advanced

Catalog description

This sub-internship elective is based out of two hospitals: Bellevue and Tisch Hospital. The elective is designed for students with a strong interest in health disparities within gynecology and a desire to serve an urban, underserved community. It will involve working closely with house staff and faculty in the Division of Gynecologic Oncology. Students will participate in radical pelvic surgeries, familiarize themselves with common chemotherapy treatments of gynecologic malignancy, and attend weekly tumor board/departmental conferences. Students will also attend daily work rounds at both hospitals. Readings are assigned for independent study. An informal short scientific presentation is required at the end of the clerkship.
