The Academic Program
The Department of Medicine (MED) assists the student
in integrating learning in the humanities, social sciences, and the
physical and biological sciences by providing progressive experiences in
clinical medicine. Early attention is given to the student’s
acquisition of habits of continuing self-education and basic clinical
skills. These skills include collection and evaluation of data, clinical
problem solving, and consideration and perceptiveness in dealing with
patients, their families, and other members of the health team.
The department directs integrated residency training
programs in community hospitals. The close association of students and
graduate physicians in these programs affords valuable learning
experiences. Research in selected clinical fields, for which facilities
are available, is fostered.

The Academic Program
Instruction in obstetrics and gynecology (OBGN) is
divided into four general areas: basic clerkship, student electives,
residency training, and continuing medical education. The main
objectives of the basic clerkship during the third year is to give
students an overall perspective of the entire field, an in-depth
knowledge of women’s health care, and an ability to perform those
technical skills necessary for the care of women. The elective
experiences are developed to allow interested students the opportunity
to acquire detailed knowledge and experience in women’s health care or
within specific areas of care.
The department directs a residency training program
for medical graduates who desire specialty training in the field. The MD
education program is closely integrated with residency training to
maintain communication and learning experience throughout training. The
department has an active research program in the clinical area of human
reproduction. The department is divided into the following divisions:
ambulatory care, education, endocrinology-infertility, fetal-maternal
medicine, gynecology, obstetrics, oncology, urogynecology, and research. |
