This is a longitudinal experience in the second and third years. Continued obstetrical care of families is taught by family practice faculty in the Family Medicine Center. Electives with opportunities to develop surgical skills are offered. This rotation teaches residents to diagnose and manage gynecological programs and to develop sensitivity to the health care of women. The experience includes ambulatory, inpatient and operating room experiences.
Colposcopy training is included.
During this rotation, residents learn the knowledge base and skills to diagnose, stabilize, and initiate treatment of the emergent, critically ill, or injured patient. Emergency medicine is primarily taught on the emergency services at Rose Medical Center in the first year. Exposure to trauma emergency care occurs in the third year at a local trauma referral center. Residents on the Family Medicine Service also care for our patients in the Rose Emergency Room. During the rural practice experience the resident functions as a member of a community based practice seeing patients, making hospital rounds, and taking call.
