The Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship consist of six weeks of students exposition to classes and activities to develop minimal requirements needed, not only to approve examinations, but to acquire knowledge to permit students to take care of the most common and important problems of the female patients.
Students will be exposed to obstetrical and gynecological experiences under supervision. The class is divided into small groups assignedto the gynecology service, the normal and complicated obstetrics service, the labor room and emergency service, and out-patient clinics. At these stations they will rotate for a period of four weeks with responsibility for admission of patient, history and physical examination, daily rounds, follow up of patients, attendance at surgical procedures, post operative care and discharge summary. At these stations the daily work will be supervised by full time instructors. The student should read and be familiar with material related to their cases, and be able to present and discuss their cases in daily rounds as well as with the assigned attending.
