UNCsim’s own Dr. Alice Chuang was recently part of a team that published a survey of clerkship directors for Obstetrics and Gynecology in US medical schools. The article, published in the BioMed Central Medical Education open access journal on Dec 16, gives the results of their web based questionnaire surveying programs for the utilization of pelvic and breast examination skills in their clerkships.
