The rotation focuses on both common obstetrical conditions and gynecological problems. Knowledge of serious, less common conditions is also required.  \nThere are two clinical rotation sites, Prentice Women’s Hospital (Northwestern Medicine) and the John H.  \nStroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County. Some learning activities at each site are scheduled, including Morbidity & Mortality, Grand Rounds, Sign-Out Rounds and a variety of educational conferences. Daily clinical activities are scheduled for the duration of the clerkship. At times, there is flexibility for each student to select their specific clinical experiences. This is done in coordination with their assigned resident team on Labor and Delivery, Gynecologic Surgery (General Gynecology, Gynecologic Oncology,  \nUrogynecology/Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery) and in the outpatient clinics.  \nIt is the student's responsibility to identify and pursue learning which complements assigned clinical activities and leads to fulfillment of the course objectives. Students are expected to actively maintain their online clerkship log which includes assessment and evaluation of patients with a variety of common obstetric and gynecologic diagnoses and specific clinical/procedural skills (e.g., speculum examination, suturing, assisting in vaginal and cesarean deliveries) . Students will achieve the majority of these objectives through actual patient encounters, and will have access to alternate learning experiences if needed. Students are responsible for obtaining knowledge about each of the assigned topics, as these are high yield for the NBME Subject Examination and the end of rotation Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) . The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology strives to train all Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine students to become self-directed, independent learners who take specific reproductive health concerns into consideration no matter the clinical situation.  \nPhase 2 (All Clerkships) Common Objectives  \nObjective 1: Perform focused or complete reproductive health histories and physicals when appropriate (including complete pelvic exams with supervision), and document efficiently in the medical record (EPA 1, EPA 2, EPA 5) (PCMC-1; PCMC-2; PCMC-3; PCMC-5; ECIS-1; ECIS-2)  \nExpectations  \nIt is expected that all students should demonstrate proficiency with the basic pelvic exam during the clerkship and perform at least two complete pelvic examinations. These skills have been previously introduced and practiced during Phase 1. During clerkship orientation, students will work with the Gynecologic Teaching Assistants (GTAs) to hone their breast, speculum and bimanual examination skills. Students will also demonstrate requisite prenatal examination skills including measuring fundal height and auscultating fetal heart tones. Students will be supervised in these exams by residents, fellows, attendings, and by assigned preceptors in the outpatient and operating room settings during the rotation.  \nSample gynecologic and obstetrical H&Ps are including in the Introduction to Phase 2 Purple Book.  \nComponents of the OB/GYN H&P are reviewed during orientation and students will utilize both EMR templates and free-form H&Ps for documentation in a variety of clinical settings. Ongoing feedback on written H&Ps will be provided throughout the clerkship.  \nAssessment  \nA total of two H&Ps will be submitted by students by the end of the clerkship. The first H&P will be reviewed for formative feedback during the mid-clerkship meeting. The second H&P will be reviewed and critiqued by OB/GYN faculty as part of the H&P and MDM assignment will be a required portion of the student’s grade.  \nThe physician preceptor (resident, fellow, or","cbCaitr4oA6RHPjZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitr4oA6RHPjZ","pdf",274519,"English","# Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship Goals & Objectives\n## Clinical rotation structure and learning responsibilities\n## Phase 2 (All Clerkships) Common Objectives\n## Objective 1: Reproductive health histories and physicals\n## Objective 2: Evidence-based knowledge for OB-Gyn conditions","[{\"question\":\"What are the two main clinical rotation sites for the OB/GYN clerkship?\",\"answer\":\"The clerkship includes Prentice Women’s Hospital (Northwestern Medicine) and the John H.
