M.D. Student Training
Courses in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology are designed to give M.D. students a comprehensive survey of reproductive medicine. This is done through a series of didactic lectures, inpatient and outpatient assignments, ward rounds, teaching seminars, and special elective courses.
The third-year clerkship 066:004 (OBG:8301) Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology gives students the core knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to provide primary health care to female patients.
The department offers fourth-year medical students a variety of electives that provide advanced training in the special areas of obstetrics and gynecology. In addition to clerkships at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, these electives include a rotation at the Washington County Hospital and Clinics and other arranged off-campus courses.
