Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship

OBG 8000

Clerkship Overview

Obstetrics and Gynecology is a fast-paced diverse field of medicine practiced in a variety of settings, both outpatient and inpatient. The 6 week clerkship is designed to introduce the third year medical student to the diagnosis and management of the more common obstetrical and gynecological conditions.  Obstetricians/gynecologists see patients in need of preventive care services as well as those who are experiencing an acute life-threatening obstetric or gynecological issue.  Our students will have the opportunity to develop an understanding of the typical medical and surgical problems that occur in a woman’s life span, from menarche through menopause and beyond.

In this six weeks, we hope that you will get an idea of what the general obstetrician/gynecologists does, be exposed to common obstetric and gynecologic procedures, and learn about important topics in women’s health which will serve you whatever specialty you ultimately choose.  You will be able to solidify your gynecologic history taking abilities and pelvic exam skills.   For most of you this will be your only clinical exposure to disorders of the female reproductive system, disorders that all of you will confront in your careers. So, now is the time! Enjoy the next few weeks and learn a lot.
