Visiting Students' Elective Rotation
Visiting students are offered a month of elective at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology after applying through the Dean’s office. Their applications are processed by Dr. A. Nassar, the coordinator
of the elective rotation. No more than two students can be accommodated at any time.
Orientation
On the day of their arrival, the students should report to the Chairman’s office on the 7th floor (Room C-748) where Dr. Nassar is contacted for an orientation session.
- Job Duties and Responsibilities
- All through the rotation, the students will work as observers. They will not have the chance to see or examine patients alone. They will have the chance to observe medical students or residents interview and examine patients and perform procedures on them.
- Usually, students will rotate equally on the Obstetrical and Gynecological services (two weeks for each service in a one-month elective).
- If the student has special interests in a particular aspect of Obstetrics and Gynecology, special arrangements can be made with Dr. Nassar before the start of the rotation.

pm.
- During the GYN rotation, students are expected to attend operating room sessions and possibly scrub on some cases with residents performing the surgeries.

- During the DS rotation, they will get exposed to various cases of uncomplicated normal vaginal deliveries, assisted vaginal deliveries (forceps and vacuum), cesarean deliveries, and complicated OBS patients.
- On some occasions, they will have the chance to observe some obstetrical and gynecological ultrasounds performed in Room 700, as well as, some antenatal diagnosis procedures (CVS, amniocentesis).
