The Obstetrics & Gynecology course (July 27-31, 2026) introduces students to reproductive anatomy using anatomical models and labeling exercises, and participation in menstrual cycle and hormone regulation simulations to understand normal and abnormal physiology. We explore the world of labor and delivery using birthing mannequins to learn fetal heart rate monitoring, speculum pelvic exam, newborn APGAR scoring, and episiotomy repair on task trainers. We also learn interpretation of gynecologic ultrasound and pathology images, and engage in patient-centered communication role-play scenarios. Additional didactic topics include sexual health, gynecologic oncology, reproductive endocrinology (infertility, menopause, PCOS) and advocacy related to women’s health.
