NOT AVAILABLE TO VISITING STUDENTS.

The Ob/Gyn Acting Internship is a month long concentrated clinical experience at Tampa General Hospital in the Bayshore Pavilion, Women’s Center - labor and delivery, ante-partum and postpartum areas. All efforts are made to directly expose and incorporate the fourth year medical student as a member of the labor and delivery team. The acting intern will triage, admit, and deliver those patients to whom they have been assigned.

The student will be supervised by USF Department of Ob/Gyn clinical faculty and residents that are part of the labor and delivery medical team. The course will provide the student with a comprehensive exposure to the unique combination of medical and surgical care provided to patients during labor and delivery. The course will challenge the student to participate as an active member of the team, within the unique dynamics of labor and delivery.
