Clinical Hours completed: 120 hours
Type of Experience: Experience gained from this course focused not only on the
obstetric and gynecological needs of the woman, but covered the entire health needs of
the woman from physical to emotional needs. Experience gained during this clinical
rotation was based on understanding the basics in a trustful relationship because women
would not share their issues if there is lack of trust in the relationships between the
provider and the patient. Dr. Kango emphasized that this is important so that the patient
will be open to discuss their medical situation and not feel judged. I experienced and
practiced how to assess physiologic changes in gestation, anatomic changes associated
with pregnancy, effect of pregnancy on common laboratory test results, understand
embryonic and fetal development, especially what does and does not affect the fetus,
what is and is not teratogenic as far as medications, and other drugs are concerned,
observing and performing pap smear, observing and performing gynecological
examination.
