Clerkship

Welcome to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship at the University of Michigan Medical School.

The U-M Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is a unique educational experience that involves close interaction with house staff and faculty, and a hands-on approach to learning by doing. A physician specializing in obstetrics or gynecology often is considered a woman’s primary care provider, and with this in mind, students are encouraged to learn not only obstetrics and gynecology, but women's health, in general. During the six-week clerkship, most students will encounter a multitude of clinical problems. Knowledge gained while solving a particular patient problem is knowledge that is retained and applicable to other patients with similar problems.
