OMED 7610 Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship
This 6-week experience is designed to provide experiential learning in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Through a combination of ambulatory, inpatient, and surgical encounters, learners will gain broad exposure to the spectrum of women’s health. Learners will develop skills needed to conduct gynecological exams, manage normal and high-risk pregnancies, participate in labor/delivery procedures, and provide postpartum care. Since women’s health is a part of both primary and specialty care, learners should begin to discriminate which elements of care are appropriate for a primary care physician versus an obstetrician/gynecologist or sub-specialist. Learners are encouraged to incorporate osteopathic principles and practices to the diagnosis and treatment of patients during this clerkship.
