Description
The introduction to women?s health is a pivotal part of medical education. The RVUCOM OB/GYN curriculum is based on the Association of Professors in Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO) Curriculum Project, Women?s Healthcare Office (WHEO) revised in 2009, and although gender specific, the specialty actually encompasses multiple disciplines in both the medical and surgical fields. RVUCOM students have been exposed to the fundamentals of women?s health in several courses throughout the first and second year during Principles of Clinical Medicine (PCM). Upon completion of this rotation, students should be prepared to address basic issues in women?s health care and begin to apply them to their chosen specialty.
