The faculty consists of two Perinatologists, two Endocrinologists, an Oncologist and four general Obstetrician-Gynecologists. Schedule Rounds are held daily with the attending staff. Students are expected to follow the progress of hospitalized patients and actively participate in their care. Each patient will be presented on rounds on a daily basis by the student assigned to care for her. Opportunities to assist in surgery with physicians in the community are also available.
Students take in house calls on a rotating basis.
This is the time when most opportunity to follow and deliver laboring patients exists. The typical student delivers five babies on the rotation, but several have delivered ten or more. A core series of 25 lectures is presented by the attending and resident staff. Students also attend all lectures and conferences scheduled for the residents. This results in an aggregate of at least 50 hours of formal lecture and conference time in each six week block.
