Our department is committed to the education of medical students in general Obstetrics and Gynecology. Currently our third year medical students rotate for 8 weeks dividing their time equally between Obstetrics and Gynecology.

While on Obstetrics their time is spent with 1 week of didactic lectures, two weeks of MFM and and one week on Labor and Delivery. They are expected to learn the intrapartum and postpartum care of the uncomplicated pregnancy as well as the antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care of the high-risk pregnancy.

Fourth year medical student electives are available in:

Maternal Fetal Medicine
The student will work directly with obstetrics residents and three subspecialists in maternal-fetal medicine on a busy high-risk obstetric service that includes over 300 maternal transfers per year from outlying hospitals, high-risk obstetric clinic, formal teaching sessions two times per week, weekly perinatology conference, daily rounds with one of the faculty and an active fetal ultrasonography service. The student will be responsible for initial work-up, daily patient rounds, and assisting with the delivery of pregnant patients with a wide range of medical and obstetrical complications.
