 The
Department of Community and Family Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical
School has a very strong Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology that is
under the joint supervision of board-certified
obstetrician/ gynecologists and board- certified family physicians who are
dedicated to ensuring an environment that is conducive to the acquisition
of proficiency in office gynecology, colposcopy, prenatal care,
sonography, management of labor, vaginal delivery and postpartum care.
Rotation in the Division of Family
Obstetrics and Gynecology is structured to provide AAFP-recommended
proficiency in prenatal counseling, antenatal care, management of
labor, vaginal  delivery, postpartum care and circumcision of newborn
males. The use of ultrasound to determine BPD, HC, AC, FL, AFI, CRL,
gestational age, and estimated birth weight, including the
interpretation of electronic fetal monitor tracing and cord blood
interpretation, are routine during rotation in the Division of
Obstetrics and Gynecology. Gynecologic consults in the very busy
Emergency Department and on the medical floors provide ample
opportunity for uncommon experience in gynecologic care.
Ample opportunity also exists for
exposure and/or participation (for those who desire) in surgical
procedures such as laparoscopy, hysterectomy, Caesarean sections and
laser surgery.
