...Ob-Gyn stands for Obstetrician and Gynecologist. The obstetrician side deals mainly with the baby and a gynecologist works with women and their reproductive systems. An Ob-Gyn is someone that provides medical treatment for women, diagnose and prevent diseases for women, treat women’s reproductive systems, provide treatment and care for pregnant women, provide education on nutrition and proper care of the body during pregnancy, monitor the growth of the baby to make sure it is healthy, and deliver the babies. This was in the middle of the career choices that NCC said. I still chose health sciences because I have always wanted to be a doctor. More than likely an Ob-Gyn will be working in their own private office. Although there are plenty that work in hospitals and clinics with other doctors. Ob-Gyns are always working in sterile conditions because it ensures safety for the doctor, the women, and the baby. They are expected to wear protective clothing at all times such as: gloves, masks, and gowns. Ob-Gyns can usually run on their own schedule with some exceptions; they can decide when they work although complications can occur with the mother and baby before and during labor that the Ob- Gyn can not control. An Ob-Gyn can expect to work nights and weekends....

...oncology, pulmonology, or gastrology. However, the concept of the gynecologist as the primary care physician remains arguable. In comparison to the primary care physician the obstetrics/gynecologist also plays a vital role in the health care treatment plan---for women. As a result, some managed care organizations (MCOs), health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and indemnity health insurers may allow the gynecologist as the primary care physician. According to Kongstvedt, many obstetrics/gynecologists (OB/Gyn) feel as if they indeed deliver primary care. They make this assertion because “they are often the only physician a young woman sees for many years” (66). Healthy women do not always have medical concerns until problems arise with their female reproductive systems. Therefore, care provided by the OB/Gyn could be viewed as primary care. Yet, are they willing to take on the extra responsibility? Because “ in the early 1990’s, there was at least one program designed to retrain OB/Gyn physicians to provide a broader range of primary care, but the results were quite disappointing, with a very high dropout rate and a high level of dissatisfaction with broad primary care expressed” (66)....

...A woman named K.M is having twins, one boy and one girl. The baby boy fetus was not healthy; he has possible heart defect and Down syndrome. She went to her ob-gyn named Dr. Matthew J. Kachinas to talk about aborting the baby boy fetus. In January 2006 he agreed to treat her with selective termination. K.M went to her ob-gyn and discussed the selective termination to her. Dr. Matthew J. Kachinas told K.M that he has lack of experience of this procedure. After K.M had the selective termination, she came back a week in a half later and done an ultrasound and it revealed that the wrong fetus was alive. The baby boy was still alive and not the healthy girl fetus. Several days later K.M went back to her ob-gyn and got the other fetus terminated too because that fetus is the one she wanted terminated in the first place. Dr. Matthew J. Kachinas the ob-gyn blames the ultrasound for his mistakes. Kachinas was charges and lost his license. K.M got a $250,000 liability settlement. The precise ethical issue here is individual rights. K.M lost both of her twins because of her ob-gyn Dr. Matthew J. Kachinas. He shouldn't have done that procedure if he didn't know what he was doing. K.M and her husband had other alternatives than to have the selective termination. They could have kept both twins, they also could of got another doctor that knew what he/she was doing for the selective termination.

...Ob\Gyn Ambulatory Services The American Marketing Association definition of marketing is “The process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational goals.” (Lamb, Hair, & McDaniel, 2011) However the definition of healthcare marketing can differ slightly, but still has the same components. "Healthcare marketing is educating ourselves as to the wants and needs of our potential customers and, based on the knowledge we gain, educating our customers and offering them valued services that fulfill their needs when and where they need those services.” (Buckley, 2009) Marketing a healthcare entity has distinctive challenges that are not found in most organizations. The product is variable, there is not a true price−value exchange and the customer is not always a willing buyer. The healthcare industry is advancing in technology and increasing in competition every day. Patients have more choices than ever before. Providers need to market themselves to stand out from the competition and notify patients how they can offer the best possible care and experience. Today’s healthcare focus is on providing the best care but also on patient experience. The “4 P’s” product, price, place, and promotion are used to develop a marketing strategy that works. The four Ps Product, price, place and promotion are considered the four controllable variables used to define...

All told, the studies randomized 18,150 women aged 16-26 years to the vaccine or a placebo. Participants had cervicovaginal sampling and Pap smears on their first day in the studies and were followed with Pap smears every 6-12 months for up to 48 months. Median follow-up was 4 years from day 1.****what the study is The most dramatic reduction was 43% in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) seen on Pap smears.

...Obstetricians are doctors who specializes in pregnancy, Birth, and caring for new mothers. They also focus on the female reproductive system. They need special skills in order to be an obstetrician. Obstetricians can do many special tasks to make the pregnancy special for the mother, and baby. Obstetricians need to be communicative, be reasonable and problem solvers, be able to use math and science, be able to manage oneself, people, times and things, able to work well with others, perceive and visualize, have prior knowledge, and have an interest in being an obstetrician. One major thing Obstetricians do is, specialize in pregnancy, birth, and caring for new mothers. They use Ultrasound equipment to determine if there is a baby in the uterus. They can tell you what will more than likely happen during your first, second, and third trimesters. In the first two weeks of being pregnant, you aren’t really pregnant yet. Conception takes place two weeks after your period. To calculate your due date, Obstetricians count ahead 40 weeks from the start of your last period. You were not pregnant during your last period, but it is still apart of your pregnancy. During week 3 of your pregnancy begins the fertilization process. Week 4 is when your baby is implanted into your uterus. Week 5 is when the baby’s brain, spinal cord, heart, and other organs begin to form. By the end of the 5th week, your baby is the size of the tip of a pen. Week 6 the neural tube closes, and your baby’s heart...

...please refer to your syllabus for details! The obstetrics portion focuses on labor and delivery, antepartum, and postpartum aspects of patient care. The weeks that you spend in gynecology vary widely and can range from community clinics to gynecologic surgery. This clerkship is highly dependent on how much effort you put into it, as evaluations from residents and faculty make up a significant portion of your grade. The clerkship is generally VERY organized, which you will learn to appreciate as you go through other clerkships. Didactics: There are lectures one day per week, which are mandatory. You will be excused from all clinical duties on your didactic day. Apart from the lectures, you will have quizzes over certain topics in Ob-Gyn (refer to syllabus for schedule). The course textbook (Beckman) is an excellent study guide for these quizzes, but make sure you have the latest edition! Other helpful study resources are the online APGO quizzes, Blue Prints, First Aid and Case Files. You are allowed to wear casual clothes on didactic days. Small Groups: The small group sessions are where you will present your H&P and discuss your patient and treatment options. You will typically present a patient and learning issue in a Powerpoint presentation, but this varies with faculty. This is a good chance to impress a faculty member if you are looking for letters of recommendation. Otherwise, if is a good chance to improve your presentation...
