Education
Third-year medical students practicing their suture and knot-tying skills, with Dr. Carly Jennings
A Complete OB-GYN Educational Experience
Our programs offer the opportunity for medical students to become familiar with women's health care and the field of obstetrics and gynecology with didactic content, online learning, simulations, and inpatient and outpatient rotations.
Medical Student Simulations
The third- and fourth-year medical students participate in a variety of simulations at the Davis Global Center.
Birth simulation with medical student and Dr. Carly Jennings
Our medical students participate in birth simulations to prepare them for labor and delivery rotations during the clerkship.
Simulated perineal laceration repair
Before they graduate from medical school, students who have identified obstetrics and gynecology as their specialty participate in simulations to prepare them for residency. In this photo, Dr. Neil Hamill is providing instruction and feedback as the students complete a perineal laceration repair.
Laparoscopy simulation
The upper level medical students learn about minimally invasive gynecological surgery and practice with laparoscopy trainers and surgical instruments.
Advanced simulation
We create task trainers and models so the learners can practice procedures, such as for c-section as pictured here. Maternal-fetal medicine specialist, Dr. Maggie Kuhlmann, provides guidance to the fourth-year medical students.
