3rd Year Clerkship

All 3rd year LSU Health New Orleans medical students will complete a required rotation through Obstetrics & Gynecology. Students can opt to complete this rotation in Baton Rouge at Woman's Hospital with our residents and faculty. 

A member of the Ob/Gyn faculty and/or a resident will always supervise medical students. Medical students will be evaluated using their own medical school criteria and evaluation form or our standard evaluation form if none is provided by their medical school.

Medical students are expected to attend all Ob/Gyn lectures and conferences during their rotation and actively participate in department activities and social events.  Housing for LSU medical students, if needed, may be provided while the student is with our service. 

Please register as soon as possible as availability for these positions is limited and competitive.

4th Year Student Rotations
