Student experience
the class
In-depth exposure to inpatient care of patients on Labor and Delivery. Work under the direct supervision of the Obstetrics Hospitalist whose primary role is the general medical care of hospitalized patients. Help manage laboring patients, see patients in labor and delivery, triage, and assist with cesarean sections. Round on all patients for whom you are involved in care once patients are post-partum. Function as the residents do at night and assist with cross coverage of inpatient gynecology patients as well as see patients who arrive in the emergency department with obstetric or gynecologic concerns. You may assist in the operating room if the patients who present to the emergency room require immediate surgery.
