| PGY-1 Rotations -- 2008-2009 9 Residents The first year rotations are: The first year resident acts as the physician primarily responsible for management of all patients on the labor and delivery suite. This management is under the supervision of senior residents and attending faculty.

Management includes the initial workup, diagnosis, and postoperative care of gynecology patients. First year residents become proficient in assisting major gynecologic surgeries and in performing minor gynecologic surgeries, such as laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and D&Cs. The fundamentals of the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases and postoperative infections are mastered. (back to top) Johns Hopkins Oncology: Please check back ... information to follow... (back to top) Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center: The first year resident is introduced to a general obstetric and gynecology service at Bayview. Bayview provides the intern with experience in management of inpatient antepartum patients, performing Cesarean sections, vaginal deliveries, and out patient high-risk obstetrics. First year residents also learn to perform laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and D&Cs. Current PGY-3, Carolyn Alexander, truly enjoyed her intern year at Hopkins. She found all of the rotations to be rewarding and has become a leader in her class. "I started my intern year at Bayview, which is one of the most exciting rotations. Your day begins with rounds at L&D where you go over your Ob and Gyn patients. The best part of the rotation is the fact that the patients are 'your' patients. You deliver them and you follow their postpartum and postoperative care, i.e. you get to perform the C-Sections as interns. You make decisions in conjunction with your chief about their care. On your postcall day, you go home after taking care of the details regarding your patients. The call is straight q3, but on your good day you usually go to the operating room to perform Gyn Surgery with the chief. It is a great opportunity to learn proper surgical technique and see a wide range of cases from Gyn oncology to urogynecology to infertility. I believe Bayview is our hidden treasure; there is so much to do, but the experience is well worth the hard work!" - Carolyn Alexander, MD (back to top) Greater Baltimore Medical Center: Please check back ... information to follow... (back to top) Emergency Medicine: One month of emergency medicine provides a concentrated experience in acute medical and surgical disorders. The Gyn/Ob intern functions as an ER intern, and rotates through 12-hour shifts under the direct supervision of senior ER residents and faculty. (back to top) Ambulatory Gyn/Ob: The first year residents are assigned to a half day of Gyn/Ob clinic per week. They learn the fundamentals of prenatal care and common gynecologic problems while building a base of their own patients. (back to top) Vacation: Three (3) weeks. (back to top) |
