The rotation also provides exposure to procedures in women's health and emphasizes respectful, sensitive communication and patient education. Upon completion of this rotation, students will demonstrate the ability to evaluate and manage patients with reproductive health needs, including prenatal and gynecologic care. Students will develop differential diagnoses, select and interpret diagnostic studies, and formulate evidence-based management plans, including appropriate referrals and patient education. Students will apply preventive health principles relevant to reproductive care, while refining their clinical reasoning, communication, and patient-centered care skills.
