Welcome

Information regarding rotations in Academic Year 2009-10 has been updated on this site.

Welcome to the Obstetrics and Gynecology clerkship! 

Obstetrics and gynecology is a fast-paced, diverse field of medicine practiced in a variety of settings, both outpatient and inpatient.  As a clerk on our service, you will have the opportunity to see patients who are healthy, seeking prenatal or preventive care, those who are having an acute life-threatening gynecologic problem and everything in between!

In addition to a well-rounded, solid experience in general obstetrics and gynecology, we hope each student will have the opportunity to be introduced to obstetrical and gynecologic subspecialties including Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery & Pelvic Pain, Maternal Fetal Medicine, Gynecologic Oncology, Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility, Family Planning, and Urogynecology & Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery as well as Adolescent Gynecology and Genetics.  

As you can imagine, it would be impossible to have full exposure to all of these specialties in a mere six weeks.  We do hope that you become familiar with what the general obstetrician/gynecologist does, have the opportunity to be exposed to common obstetric and gynecologic procedures, solidify pelvic exam skills and learn about important topics in women’s health to serve you whatever specialty you ultimately choose.   

We are looking forward to meeting you, getting to know you and teaching you. 

Sincerely,
Alice Chuang
Clerkship Director
