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
• Experience Checklist
  • Email completed checklist to medicalstudents@gundersenhealth.org

If you are starting OB/Gyn in the last 6 weeks of CALC, review information on Orientation site and watch the videos posted there.
