About the OBGYN Morning Rounds This site is designed for the third year medical student engaged in an introductory course in obstetrics and gynecology. I’ve used the six-week model for this, along with a conventional set of learning objectives. Not all medical schools use this type of curriculum, but I believe the model will be useful to all medical students no matter what their home school’s curriculum looks like. My intention is to create a model rotation that can run parallel to a student’s own rotation, filling in missing material, broadening their exposure, and deepening their understanding of the clinical issues. This material cannot substitute for hands-on clinical experience, but can enhance that experience by providing greater understanding of the mechanics and processes. This model takes you on Morning Rounds with me each day, Mondays through Fridays, for six weeks. Each day I’ll discuss some of the patients we are seeing or some patients I've recently seen in the outpatient clinic. Every afternoon, we'll have a few short but focused lectures on important OBGYN topics. At your own pace, visit the OBGYN Skills lab where you can watch more than 40 five-minute videos, demonstrating how to perform a useful medical skill. Finally, whenever you feel you're ready, go to the Patient Simulation Lab and start seeing patients and making clinical decisions. I hope you'll learn both from your successes and your mistakes. In real life, not everyone will want to follow this model literally. Many students will find they can move more quickly through the material, or skip ahead to some areas of particular interest to them. I’m not troubled by that. One of the very nice things about this on-screen format is that students can move through the material as quickly as they want, at a time of their own choosing. They can repeat certain experiences as often as they like, and skip over material that proves not to be so useful to them. Very effective use of time. While this is designed for 3rd year medical students, I believe it would also be useful to anyone learning women’s healthcare…particularly students in nursing, advanced practice nursing, medical assistants, EMTs, and paramedics. I realize that this site is not yet fully functional, but I'm not too worried about that. If I waited until everything was finished, I'd probably never get this material out to you. So bear with me, and I'll fill up the site as quickly as I can. Dr. Hughey |
