Faculty Coordinator: Joe Breuner, MD
OB Chief Residents:
Claire Frost- First Hill
Marissa Kummerling and Robie Sterling- Cherry Hill
Several Inpatient and Outpatient OB elective experiences are available.
Please work with Joe Breuner and your advisor if you are interested in setting up an OB elective. Please note that you must have arranged this rotation 3 months ahead of your elective block.
Example OB Elective Experiences:
Edmonds Birth & Family Medicine Elective
Typical volumes for this one month rotation are 2-10 deliveries, 5 colposcopies and 20 clinic visits
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.
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.
