OB skills clinic a big hit!!!!











A few weeks ago, we held the second of our 4 planned skills clinics offered for MCW students featuring the fabulous teaching skills of our faculty and residents.

...I do have to mention that our dedication was most highlighted by the energy and muscle power needed to load the ultrasound machine in Dr. Izard's van while bystanders gawked and never offered a hand...needless to say, we never give up or back down from a challenge!!!!

The clinics have been well received and this one was focused on OB skills which included perineal laceration suturing, ultrasound, and measuring beautiful pregnant bellies and listening to heart tones. We have some wonderful patients that offered themselves to help the med students have this great and exciting experience (and our new professional friend Kathy, who lent her expertise teaching the ultrasounds).

The next topic in the New Year will be Domestic Violence and we have creative ideas to make this important topic another successful skills clinic.
