Overview: An elective in General Obstetrics and Gynecology offers the student a variety of patients and clinical challenges.  Each student will be assigned to a specialist Obstetrician and Gynecologist for office and hospital experience.  The student will have the opportunity to examine patients and develop proficiency in assessment and management.  Since there are several other groups of learners (Residents and Program Students) using the Department to gain clinical experience, it is necessary to set a limit on the number of elective students in the Department, usually one at any one time.

  • help develop clinical skills, judgment and knowledge in assessing and diagnosing patients with obstetrical or gynecological problems
  • help develop the student's skill at performing a variety of assessments and procedures
