Gynecology Elective

We have a reputation for preparing students for the medical field.

Baylor Scott & White Health offers this four-week elective in obstetrics and gynecology to fourth-year medical students. Baylor University Medical Center Dallas, part of Baylor Scott & White Health, serves as a clinical training and research campus for Texas A&M Health Science Center (HSC) College of Medicine.

Applicants from LCME-accredited medical schools are given preference in filling positions.

We accept two students per rotation.

Curriculum

This rotation emphasizes clinical care and patient contact as well as fundamentals in gynecologic surgery

Students join the residency program's gynecology team in caring for gynecologic patients, evaluating clinic patients, and assisting in surgery. They participate in the evaluation and management of gynecologic patients in both the hospital and the outpatient clinic, and they assist in surgical procedures and perform morning and evening rounds.

An upper-level resident and faculty generalist supervise each student. Night call is optional.

We recommend reading any of the following texts:

Droegemuellers' Comprehensive Gynecology
Copeland's Textbook of Gynecology
Te Linde's Operative Gynecology
