High-Risk Obstetrics Elective

We have a reputation for preparing students for the medical field.

Baylor Scott & White Health offers this four-week elective in obstetrics and gynecology to fourth-year medical students. Baylor University Medical Center Dallas, part of Baylor Scott & White Health, serves as a clinical training and research campus for Texas A&M Health Science Center (HSC) College of Medicine.

Applicants from LCME-accredited medical schools are given preference in filling positions.

We accept three students per rotation.

Curriculum

This rotation emphasizes high-risk obstetric clinical care, patient contact, prenatal diagnosis and ultrasound.

Students participate in the evaluation, care and management of high-risk antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum patients. They see patients in the maternal-fetal medicine office, outpatient clinic and labor and delivery unit.

The maternal-fetal medicine resident and the maternal-fetal medicine faculty supervise the students. Night call in labor and delivery is optional.
