Edmonds Birth & Family Medicine Elective

Health Care for Women OB Elective

  • Choose one HCFW attending to work with and shadow for the month. Preround, preop, consult, manage labors, see triage patients, provide postop care: essentially     the resident does all the hospital responsibilities that your attending does for the month, under their supervision.

OB Senior Elective - First Hill  

  • Provide labor deck support and supervision to new R1s as they begin their obstetrics experience.  Develop R2 teaching and supervisory skill. Teach critical skills to R1s through direct, hands-on teaching and one-on-one observation.

OB Senior Elective-Issaquah

  • Senior residents who choose this elective will work with the OB hospitalist team at Issaquah for labor management, deliveries, triage visits, and c-section assists. Ideally, senior residents will take two weeks total for this elective.
