OB/GYN

Emanuel
Two weeks on Gynecology, three week on Obstetrics, and preceptorship at a clinic one afternoon per week. There is an Ob/Gyn lecture to attend at the hospital on Wednesday mornings at 0700.

GYN includes resident clinic one morning per week, days in surgery, and some afternoons free. Expect to start rounding between 0530 and 0600. The first surgery is usually at 0730. Some days you will be done as early as 1500, but it's usually more like 1730. Use your afternoons to read up on female pelvic anatomy, different types of hysterectomies, myomectomies, and ovarian/endometrial/cervical/etc. cancers.

OB is one week of Labor & Delivery nights, one week of L&D days, and one week of clinic. On L&D, you spend your time with the residents and OB hospitalists. Nights are 1700 until about 0830, and days are 0530/0600 until 1730. All MS3s and residents preround cooperatively between about 0530 and 0700, when the night team hands off to the day team. Next there's some time to do a few things for patients and get last-minute lab results. Attending rounds are at 0900, followed by a day of vaginal deliveries, Cesarean sections, fetal monitoring, treating preeclampia, and triaging walk-ins. Most CCs are vaginal bleeding or rule out labor/rupture of membranes. The night shift begins with inducing labor for the next day's batch of deliveries. There's often an unscheduled c-section and a triage or two. Most nights, we got to nap between about 0230 and 0500.

If you are at one of the above three sites, you will usually be there Monday-Thursday. You may also round on patients on Friday mornings before heading over to the Kohler Pavilion. Fridays are lectures at OHSU between 0900 and 1700, though there may be breaks during the day. Eugene students watch the lectures online via Sakai.
