OBG - 751 Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery

The Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) elective is a subspeciality elective that is designed to provide fourth year students pursing an interest in OB-GYN or Urology the opportunity to enhance their clinical knowledge and technical skills in urogynecology. Students will have the opportunity to recognize pathologic disease processes of the pelvic floor through history and physical exam and determine appropriate therapy while understanding the role of additional diagnostic testing such as urodynamics. Students will gain real-world practice applying evidence-based medicine in clinic and provide level-appropriate assistance with minimally invasive and invasive surgical procedures. Students are expected to be an engaged member of the clinical care team, which includes actively participating in the care of inpatients and outpatients and demonstrating use of the electronic medical record and web-based resources to provide high-quality evidence-based care. Students have a choice of taking this elective for two or four weeks. Prerequisite: OBG-703. Offered: fall, spring and summer. Retake Counts for Credit: Yes. Credit(s): 2-4
