This clerkship is comprised of predominantly inpatient experience, but participation in the Outpatient Clinic and Emergency Room is available.  The clerkship will be part of the health care team comprised of the house staff and the attending staff and will assist in providing general obstetrical and gynecological care.

The student will have numerous opportunities to participate and be part of the 250-plus deliveries per month and assist at the gynecologic surgical procedures and will be able to assume patient care responsibility, depending upon their level of training, interest, and commitment to self-education.  The clerkship will serve to enhance diagnostic skills and management formation as well as reinforce experiences learned during the third year.  Besides participating in a very active clinical service, there is a significant amount of didactic teaching.

The value of this rotation is that it provides an individual with interest in this discipline as a potential career an opportunity to witness firsthand private practice in a large Catholic community hospital.

Students must contact the course coordinator for permission prior to registering.
