The obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) clerkship is a uniquely enriching and challenging rotation for medical students. Available literature prepares students for medicine and surgery clerkships, but few guides identify and discuss the unique characteristics of OB/GYN that impact student learning and performance during the clerkship. Here, we aim to highlight the specific clinical learning environments, emotionally sensitive experiences, and technical performance expectations that students should anticipate and be prepared for in the OB/GYN clerkship. We believe all students benefit from learning these skills to care for their future patients no matter their chosen specialty.
妇产科实习对医学生来说是一段极具丰富性和挑战性的轮转经历。现有文献帮助学生为内科和外科实习做好准备,但很少有指南能识别并讨论妇产科的独特特征,这些特征会影响学生在实习期间的学习和表现。在此,我们旨在强调学生在妇产科实习中应预期并做好准备的特定临床学习环境、情感敏感经历以及技术操作期望。我们相信,无论学生选择何种专业,学习这些技能以照顾未来的患者都会使他们受益。
