This clinic includes routine as well as consultant gynecology patients. A colposcopy correlation is held each Monday morning in conjunction with the pathology department. At that time colposcopic cases are discussed, cytology and histopathology is reviewed, and management plans are finalized. Candidates for benign gynecologic surgery are also presented at the weekly gynecology case care conference to discuss specific cases and proposed surgical intervention. A strong emphasis is placed on benign surgery with 4 attendings who have special expertise in this area.
Faculty are present and participate in every gynecologic surgical procedure.
Didactic presentations on gynecologic subjects are made at three different weekly conferences. Private physicians doing surgery and deliveries at UMC are assisted by residents on both the Gyn and OB service. This includes patient management and procedures. For each resident, this provides an ongoing care experience that prepares the resident for an obstetric and gynecology practice. Residents doing rotations around the community return to their continuity clinic 1 half-day each week.
