In this fourth year elective, medical students will be encouraged to actively participate in all of the activities of the Gynecology Service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Emphasis will be placed on the pretreatment evaluation of patients, the available modalities of therapy (surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy), and the principles by which a choice of treatment is ultimately made.
Students will have the opportunity to participate in unit rounds and in some operations. They will also be able to attend the Gynecology Service's conferences and lectures and other pertinent meetings in Memorial Hospital and the Sloan-Kettering Institute. Students who are so inclined will have the opportunity to undertake a clinical research project.
