OBG - 731 Maternal-Fetal/High Risk

Emphasis of this elective is on the identification and management of high-risk pregnancy. Ultrasonography, amniocentesis, medical and surgical complications of pregnancy, and operative obstetrics are some of the specific topics dealt with in detail. Students participate in ante-partum management of hospitalized and ambulatory pregnant patients with high-risk conditions. Additional exposure to intra-partum problems is obtained through daily clinical teaching rounds and through follow-up of high-risk ante-partum patients as they go through labor and delivery. Special experiences and involvement in genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis and obstetric ultrasound are also available. Elective
