Course Information
Description
This course is offered to provide students greater exposure to the OBGYN health issues of underserved urban individuals
and their care at community health centers. BIDMC is affiliated with several of Boston's community health centers: South Cove Community Health Center in Chinatown, Malden and North Quincy, Dimock Center in Roxbury, Bowdoin Street
Health Center in Dorchester, Fenway Health, and BIDMC Chelsea. Students may rotate through several or all sites.
Students will evaluate patients in the outpatient clinical setting and will be supervised primarily by attending faculty. While
most of the rotation will be in the health centers, students also may longitudinally follow several patients into the hospital
setting. Night call is optional. Student evaluation will be based on clinical performance, completion of a community health
center project, as well as a final paper/oral presentation on a topic of interest. Spanish or Chinese language skills are a
plus. All sites are accessible via public transportation.
Not Available for Cross Registration
