The Obstetrics and Gynecology clerkships provides diverse
experiences in women's health in a variety of primary and tertiary
health care systems. Our primary goal is to cultivate student interest in the unique aspects of women's healthcare.
The department's commitment in training includes providing them with the very best instruction
in the technical aspects of the specialty. The department also strives to instill a spirit of
compassion for women of all races and economic status.
The course curriculum has been adapted from a national curriculum developed by the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO). The eight-week course is divided into two four-week segments: Obstetrics and Gynecology. Clinical training is offered at Tulane University Hospital and Clinic, Tulane-Lakeside Hospital, The Ochsner Foundation Hospital, and Huey P. Long Hospital in Pineville, Louisiana. The clinical experience is supplemented by a series of lectures and small preceptor groups. Students are evaluated on their clinical performance by faculty and residents (50%) and on their fund of knowledge by taking the National Board of Medical Examiners Obstetrics and Gynecology Exam (50%) For more information, please see:
