Outpatient Experience
Residents benefit from a comprehensive outpatient experience that spans the four years of the program.
The Ambulatory Care Center at Strong Memorial Hospital (SMH) houses the majority of the Department’s outpatient services, including the ultrasound unit (20,000 scans/year), fetal monitoring, urogynecology, reproductive endocrinology, and general gynecology divisions. Areas of emphasis include:
- Urogynecology and pelvic relaxation
- Pelvic pain
- Sexually transmitted diseases
- Colposcopy
- Sexual dysfunction and psychosocial issues
- Menopause
- Vulvar disease
There are also opportunities for work in:
- A bilingual clinic, primarily with an Hispanic population
- The outpatient pregnancy termination and family planning clinic at SMH
- Various clinics at Highland Hospital (HH), which also provides opportunities for further colposcopy training
Continuity Clinics
Continuity clinics are held for ½ day throughout the year. Residents are assigned clinics either at SMH or HH. A clinic with predominately Hispanic patients is available at SMH. Additionally, a community-based clinic staffed by one of the private practices is also an option.
All clinics are ½ day unless noted.
Clinics run by the residents are noted in bold.
