Could someone please give me an overview of the Ob/Gyn Month we have to do as part of a non-obstetric Intern year? Is it mostly Labor and delivery or mostly primary care gyn? How much knowledge are we expected to have? My school has a terrible OB rotation, so I have basically never managed a woman in Labor and I'm wondering if I need to scramble to do an elective or something.

Hey Perrot,
Responding to your previous post. Start FCVS early their is nothing wrong with getting the application done and money paid to the credentialing people and transcripts etc in. Also, take a break man internship/residency is 3-4 years enjoy the time you have. You doing a month in anesthesia?

As a tranny, I had to do a month of outpatient acute OB, which was mostly 1st trimester bleeding, with L&D call thrown in. I mostly hung out in triage because I had no desire to catch babies. I know the non-OB/Gyn interns at my current hospital had a very different experience, and even that has changed at least once in recent years. The bottom line is that your experience will be hospital-specific. In general, people don't trust off-service interns with very much until you demonstrate competence. Sometimes that can be used to your advantage by just playing dumb if you hate the rotation.
