Mother/Child Dyad Week during OB/Gyn
During your 12-week CALC block, you will have one week devoted to exploring the maternal-child dyad of labor, delivery and postpartum care. It will be an opportunity to follow a mother-child pairing through the entire process and have a unique view at what goes on behind the scenes and not just the physician/patient interface. Your point of entry at the beginning of the week will be the on-call Labor and Delivery obstetrician.
You will present on your Exploration Project in either week 6 or week 12 to your peers - depending on if you had OB/Gyn during the first six or last six weeks of the rotation.
Requirements:
- Maternal/Child Exploration Project
