Welcome to the OBIG! Although our interest group took a hard hit after the storm; this year we have come back bigger and stronger than ever.
Meeting attendance has been very high and our group membership has risen dramatically. Our new involvement with LSU's colposcopy clinic has been a big success, members who have already participated rave about the experience, and still more members are scheduled to visit the clinic in the coming months. In addition to our current activities we are working to make more clinical opportunities available to our members. One of our main goals is to increase our relationship with the Labor and Delivery sections of the LSU OB Department, providing 1st and 2nd years the opportunity to witness a live birth. Another goal is to provide our members the chance to work with the new OB simulator, Noelle, a privilege normally reserved for LSU OB residents and staff.
In additon to providing unique clinical experiences we also want to ensure that our members learn more about the OB specialty. Our meetings feature both innovative advancements in OB and an opportunity to learn more about the different OB specialties from prominent doctors in the LSU system.
If you would like to learn more about Obstetrics and Gynecolgy or if you are just looking for a fun way to get involved at school, please come by a meeting. We look forward to seeing you soon!
