UNIFORMED SERVICES UNIVERSITY OF THE HEALTH SCIENCESDEPARTMENT OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY4301 JONES BRIDGE ROADBETHESDA, MD 20814Third Year Medical Students:Welcome to your third year Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinical Clerkship! Obstetrics andGynecology is an exciting and unique field of medicine! In the span of one day, you may perform asurgery, deliver a baby, evaluate an elderly woman with ovarian cancer, and counsel a 15 year-oldabout prevention of pregnancy and sexually-transmitted infections. Obstetrics and gynecology offersbreadth within the focus of women’s health care. Over the next six weeks, you will experience manysides to women’s health care that you may not have even known about.The bulk of your clerkship will be made up of the clinical experiences you receive in obstetrics,gynecology, and ambulatory settings. The clerkship is designed with a problem-based learningapproach. This means that the core concepts, and many of the objectives, are met by using samplepatient cases for discussion with your peers and a preceptor each week. There are no traditionallectures other than those you may receive on grand rounds at various sites.During the clerkship you will be required to maintain a “Clinical Encounter Card” to ensure youreceive appropriate feedback from preceptors. You will also be required to complete and turn in 2case write-ups; these cases require a written H&P and an oral presentation. These requirements willbe reviewed in more detail at your orientation. Additionally, we have developed a curriculum throughSAKAI, which will allow you to keep track of all of your assignments. You will be asked to write aprescription, an operative report, admission orders, and a delivery summary during your rotation onSAKAI. Please check your email frequently.The final examination includes an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). And theNational Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) subject examination in OB/GYN. You must pass theNBME exam to pass this course. Please check your email weekly for any changes and/or updatesregarding this rotation.Obstetrics and gynecology is an exciting specialty, and I think you will find your rotation to bechallenging, rewarding, and fulfilling.
