OBGY G810 - Longitudinal Obstetrical Antenatal Care Elective
Credits: 4
This longitudinal elective is offered to students who have satisfactorily completed their third year core clinical rotations. The elective has a unique longitudinal design that allows students to follow patients throughout the duration of their pregnancy, and ideally manage the labor and perform the delivery. The student will participate in the Centering Pregnancy group prenatal care model. He or she will help facilitate a group of 9-12 low-risk gravidas. The student will participate in a total of ten 2-hour group prenatal sessions. The visits begin at 14-16 weeks, and then occur at 20, 24, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, and 40 weeks. Along with the preceptor, the student will perform clinical assessments and provide patient education during each 2 hour group visit. Students will also have the opportunity to be “first-call” for each patient’s delivery. The student will manage the patient’s labor, conduct the delivery and provide postpartum care and counseling. Due to the longitudinal nature of this elective, the student must commit to making him or herself available for the fixed schedule of prenatal visits. Students do not have to commit to be available for the delivery, but it is strongly encouraged.
