Obstetrics and Gynecology Rotations 


During your obstetrics rotations, you work with several of the busiest obstetricians in Peoria in addition to our own faculty's patients.  You gain further experience by caring for your own OB patients throughout your residency.  We also run two indigent OB clinics, one of which is inner city and one rural, that provide around 200 additional deliveries per year.  The chief goals of your obstetrics rotations are to learn the management of normal labor and delivery, as well as the early diagnosis and treatment of complications.  You also serve one month in the third year of residency as OB Service Chief, helping with teaching and organizing the management of the service.

You learn outpatient gynecology during your second year of residency.  We work in the private offices of four gynecologists, one of whom specializes in gynecologic oncology.  There are many outpatient experiences, including an STD clinic, a family planning clinic, and a colposcopy clinic, all in indigent areas. 

In addition to providing care for patients in all prenatal stages and immediate and postpartum periods, you will become proficient in:

  • vaginal delivery
  • fetal monitoring
  • labor induction
  • amniotomy
  • vacuum extraction
  • outlet forceps
  • third and fourth degree laceration repair
  • obstetrical complication recognition and treatment
  • Caesarean section assistance (Additional training in Cesarean section performance is available upon request.)
  • dilatation and curettage
  • gynecologic surgery first assistance
  • newborn resuscitation
  • high risk infant immediate post delivery care
  • colposcopy
  • circumcision
  • endometrial sampling
