Third Year Medical Clerkship in Obstetrics and Gynecology

The third year medical clerkship for Obstetrics and Gynecology is eight weeks long. A maximum of 20 medical students are assigned to OB/GYN. The group is split into two. Each group spends 4 weeks at Bergan Mercy Medical Center and 4 weeks at Creighton University Medical Center. In addition the group at Creighton is organized into two smaller groups. These groups spend two weeks focusing on gynecology and two weeks focusing on obstetrics. All of the students get a variety of experience in outpatient clinics, inpatient, and surgical patient care in both obstetrics and gynecology. The students also,attend rounds,Colposcopy Conference, Complicated OB Conference, take call, present two topics each, and attend lectures and Grand Rounds.

Dr. Fleming schedules an individual mid-term evaluation session with each medical student and provides a review of the mid-term evaluation in writing. Student feedback is very important and is reviewed each clerkship. We strive to provide an exceptional learning experience in our department therefore many of the adjustments made to our clerkship have resulted from suggestions or comments made by the medical students.

A shelf exam is administered at the end of the clerkship.
