OB-GYN sub-internship

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Geisinger Medical Center provides care for the complete range of obstetrical and gynecological conditions, including some of the region’s most complicated obstetrical and gynecological cases. The OB-GYN Sub-I is a 4-week clinical experience that allows the student to gain additional experience in obstetrics and gynecology. The clerkship will take place on an obstetrics and gynecology service with primarily inpatient experience, augmented with exposure to outpatient care. Students will function as OB-GYN first-year residents under faculty direction. At the conclusion of this clerkship, the student will demonstrate competence in the management of normal and abnormal labor, management of patients with complex medical problems and medical and surgical management of gynecologic conditions.
