Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship

Catalog description

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship offers medical students a rotation in the core discipline of women's health. Gynecologists and obstetricians are involved in every facet of women's healthcare maintenance and delivery throughout patients’ lifespans. These physicians provide care from puberty and early menarche onward; act as primary care providers for healthy women; help women experience the joy of normal pregnancy and delivery; and provide care during crises of infertility, pregnancy loss, and cancer. Medical students are exposed to all aspects of the specialty, including ambulatory clinics, hospital inpatient wards, the operating room, emergency room visits and consults, radiology, and the labor and delivery suite.
