The
John F. Kennedy (JFK) Clinic is a resident-run clinic located on campus that
offers a wide cultural, social, and economic patient mix. Each resident spends
one half day per week in continuity of care clinic. Each clinic day is
attended by a generalist in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology and residents
attend the same clinic day with the same attending throughout the entire four
years of training. The clinic experience provides an opportunity for residents
to manage both simple and complex obstetrics and gynecology problems in a supportive
environment. The JFK Clinic offers an invaluable education for the residents
as they follow their obstetrical patients from conception to delivery and follow
their gynecology patients through presentation to either medical or surgical
treatment. The residents schedule surgery and deliver
their
own patients. Procedures
taught within the clinic include endometrial sampling, colposcopy and LEEP
procedures, and bedside ultrasound for pregnancy as well as gynecological concerns.
