  10. Student feedback: Positive Comments of Block: • Overall: Enjoyable and well organized • Felt clinical relevance was good and helpful for upcoming boards • Felt this block was helpful for upcoming clinical rotations • Clinical skills labs were of high quality and clinically relevant

  11. Student feedback: Constructive Criticism of Block: • Some felt the block was too clinical • New critique that there were too many slides presented “Cut the Fat” • Would like this to be a 5 week block • Would like pharmacology review, although most appreciated the way pharmacology was integrated in the block • Want a hands on Ultrasound lab • Want us to just teach them what will be on boards.

  12. Faculty Evaluations: Positive Comments • Many faculty complimented for teaching style, content of presentations, and ability to stimulate interest in and understanding of ob/gyn • Use of Turningpoint was appreciated • Lykens, who taught the endocrine lectures was complimented again

  13. Faculty: Constructive Criticism / Comments • Some faculty were criticized for not being dynamic • Much criticism of power-point presentations – too many slides • Certain faculty were not appreciated as much as others, and this is an ongoing problem

  14. Written Exam: Positive • Was fair • Most students believed the exam was representative of the LTs, Lectures, and other material required. • They liked knowing that each hour of lecture would be given 2-4 questions

  15. Written Exam: • Minimal criticism of exam • Didn’t like histology questions on it • Felt some questions were ambiguous • Felt it was fair • Liked distribution • Just FYI, there were no complaints that it was too long

  16. Changes for next year: • Work with faculty to ensure that basic science and broad knowledge of ob/gyn is covered well • Discuss streamlining powerpoints for some faculty • Consideration of a pharmacology lecture to summarize the most common medications used in ob/gyn • Organize an Obstetric ultrasound lab • Continue to encourage utilization of Turning Point

  17. Wish List • 5 week block • Remove Breast patholgy / cancer from this block • Eliminate Board Mania • Higher attendance in lecture
