Ob/Gyn - 4th Year

The Lankenau Medical Center’s fourth-year clinical clerkship for medical students consists of four weeks. These four weeks are designed as an OB SUB I. This includes the delivery room, post partum and ante partum/high risk floors.

While on this service you are under the direction of the OB chief who will give your assignments during the rotation. While on this rotation you will also be responsible for taking at least one (1) Friday night and one (1) Sunday 12 hr shift on call.

We are limited to one student per four (4) week rotation. If you are interested in applying please contact Ms. Rosemarie Weisenbach (weisenbachr@mlhs.org) with your dates and an application will be sent to you.  Please no phone calls.

Gyn Oncology Sub I (open only to Thomas Jefferson Students)

This rotation is only open to students from Thomas Jefferson who are in their fourth (4) year. In order to apply for this block you must go through the Ob/Gyn student clerkship director. For questions regarding this rotation please contact Ms. Rosemarie Weisenbach (weisenbachr@mlhs.org).

The Gyn Oncology service is very busy.  It includes ample exposure to surgical procedures and caring for critically ill patients, both post-operatively and those admitted for evaluation and management of complications, or treatment of their disease.  Under the direct supervision of the faculty gynecologic oncologists, the student learns the medical and surgical management of pelvic malignancies.  Additionally, time is spent in the gynecologic oncologists’ private office where colposcopy, cryosurgery and other minor diagnostic procedures are performed.  One of the gynecologic oncologist has special talent with laparoscopic surgery and is credentialed in DaVinci robotic surgery, which adds another dimension to the student’s experience.
