General Issues
Get the most out of the rotation– You may have no interest in OB/GYN, but
learning as much as you can will make you a better doctor
Code of Ethics
Know why we’re doing what we’re doing
– Prior to surgery or delivery:
• Meet the patient, learn her history, read about the disease process
In the OR
– Get involved – learn how to position the patient, help move the patient, help clean up the patient, etc.
– Be the first in the OR to help with setup and the last to gown
Try to make the resident look good
– Watch for lab results, vitals, new information
Get involved
– look for ways to help and make your experience better
OR EtiquetteAsk the supervising resident if it is ok to scrub for the case
Throw your gloves before stepping out to scrub
Write your name on the white board in the OR where it says "student"
Rules of thumb: use the type of scrub that the most senior person nearby is using
Scrub as long as the most senior person scrubs
Be the last person to walk in the room to get gowned up
General Knowledge: Scrubbing
Traditional Scrub– Wet hands/forearms– Clean nails using enclosed nail pick.– Scrub nails, fingers, hands, wrists, arms. – Important aspect is total contact time with soap– Rinse so that dirty water doesn't drip down to your
fingersAvagard is an acceptable alternative– Be sure Avagard dries before gloving– Directions on the bottle
Labor and Delivery: UNMCWhat to expect:– Rounds at 7am (8am on weekends)– Scheduled cesarean sections or IOL’s– Deliveries– Postpartum tubal ligations– Outpatients (>20weeks with OB complaints)– Circumcisions
In general, the more available and involved a student is, the more you get to do
Labor and Delivery: UNMCWhat we expect from you:– Round on the postpartum patients
• Divide the patients with your classmates• Write SOAP notes before the resident’s note • Bring up any questions or concerns PRIOR to rounds
– Present your patients at rounds• Pertinent pos and neg only, no routine vitals• Speak up if you saw the patient
– Divide the laboring patients• Meet her, learn her history, discuss plan with resident• Fill out a blue card afterwards (no abbreviations)

0600, 1400, 2200– Students should write the 1400 and 2200 notes– See example on gray card
Labor and Delivery: NMCHow to be helpful:– Keep the board up to date (pts in labor get checked
every 1- 2hrs– Get the babies rounded up for circumcisions
(tylenol, lidocaine, baby hasn't eaten in last hour)– Keep a "to do" list on the white board (circ’s, post-
op notes, etc)– Write Rx’s for your pts who are going home
• Med reconciliation under the discharge tab• Everyone goes home with Colace, ibuprofen + something
else for pain, PNV, Iron if anemic, script for OCPs if indicated
Labor and Delivery: NMCIf you feel like you are stuck in the interaction room:– Watch the monitors
• You can figure out when someone is pushing, a new patient arrives, a patient is having decels
– Follow the intern on the floor– You can always ask one of us "Can I come with
you?"
If you feel like you don't know what it going on with your patient, read through progress notes in the chart or ask a resident
Labor and Delivery: NMC
Don’t!– Walk into a room when a patient you
haven’t met is delivering– Stay in the interaction room all day – Write your notes late or after a resident– Do an exam on a patient without the
resident present
Labor and Delivery: MethodistMorning rounds at 7am.– SOAP notes on antepartum patients – done by

with a better experience and a greater increase in knowledge
