Goals/Objectives: This elective is designed to provide students with an intensive patient care experience, serving in an intern-like capacity in general gynecology and urogynecology.

Format: Subinterns will participate in patient care in a responsible role under appropriate supervision. Subinterns will provide care for assigned patients on the inpatient service, performing the history and physical examination, participating in daily rounds, instituting an assessment and plan, writing orders (under direct supervision of a resident and attending), writing daily progress notes, participating in surgical procedures in the operating room and participating in clinics. Subinterns will attend and participate in all didactic activities with the residents.
Note: Students should not schedule interviews during this elective. Not available in December.

Evaluation Methods: Supervising attending and resident physicians will evaluate the subintern's clinical performance through direct observation, with emphasis on thoroughness, reliability, efficiency and soundness of analysis. Attending faculty also will evaluate write-ups each week.
