MDR 1031: Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

This rotation is an intensive experience with the faculty dedicated to Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS) in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. It is geared for students interested in Obstetrics, Gynecology and/or General Surgery. The emphasis of the rotation is surgical and will provide the senior medical student with exposure to laparoscopic and robotic procedures in benign gynecology. The student will observe, and depending on their competence and interest, participate in robotic and laparoscopic procedures. This will be complemented by time in the outpatient clinics. Students are expected to display an elevated level of intellectual curiosity and perform as a self-motivated learner. The student is required to participate in simulation-based learning. This will let the student acquire and develop basic laparoscopic and robotic skills. For students with an interest in Obstetrics and Gynecology there will be opportunities to become involved with research with the attending physicians.
