The primary site of training is the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children, the only tertiary center for High-Risk Obstetrics and Neonatology in the Pacific Basin. Our department was the first in the nation to employ professional patients for medical student training in performing pelvic and breast examinations. Professional patients are women specially trained to teach students the examination technique, and the communication skills needed for this potentially sensitive encounter. The Department's third-year clerkship is designed around the PBL format.
Rotations are generally two or four weeks in duration.
