SPECIALIZED CARE OF OBSTETRIC, GYNECOLOGIC, AND PEDIATRIC PATIENTS (SCOPE)

MEDSC-M 810
Course Description

Develop clinical knowledge and skills necessary to care for patients in Pediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynecology, with emphasis on unique skills such as taking care of vulnerable populations as identified in women's and child health and working with caregivers in addition to the patient themselves. Increase knowledge of fundamental science concepts introduced in Human Family Tree during Phase 1 of the curriculum, such as embryology and teratology, genetic testing, and neurodevelopment. Clinical experiences will occur in a range of representative inpatient, outpatient and surgical settings. In structured educational sessions, compare and contrast selected topics in pediatric, obstetric, and gynecologic patient populations, highlighting the relevant physiology, pathophysiology, basic science, and public health topics.
