The Obstetric Medicine Rotation exposes the resident to a variety of medical conditions encountered in pregnancy and the postpartum period. It allows full understanding of how to deal with medical emergencies in pregnancy, ensuring the well being of both the mother and her unborn child. This is also true for the postpartum lactating mother, where continued care is crucial to prevent unwanted medical complications.
For that particular purpose we have ensured that for any given resident equal exposure to inpatient and outpatient clinical scenarios was relevant to succeed in grasping the essence of Obstetric Medicine Rotation, thus it was divided as follows:
