Ob was spent working in an outpatient setting on M-W and then on call at Atlanta Medical Center where you would get to do deliveries. I personally got to do about 15 deliveries, and by doing them, I got to do everything including some suturing of episiotomies after the baby was out. You also get to scrub in on C-sections and hysterectomies, and cold knifes, etc. If the attending has deliveries at Crawford then you also get to go. I know there are some other students who are doing OB/Gyn here who are rotating with a Gyn/Onc physician who does a pretty cool procedure with the da vinci robot, where he does surgeries without touching the patient but a robot does. With that one there are no deliveries. The ER rotation is at Dekalb Medical Center in both HIllandale and Decatur. It has been pretty good so far. You work one on one with the attendings who are all very eager to teach and to let you do procedures from LP's to sutures to wound stapling. It is pretty fun. There are very few limited spaces in GA, I think maybe 10 Ross students are here, but it is building up and it sounds like Ross is working to get more sites, cores, and electives. Rent is pretty reasonable here and it is a great city.
You might want to post this to the Georgia site thread, this thread is about the future possiblity of doing electives in Arizona, which pretty hard to do, if not impossible, to do. . .
