Documenting comparability of clinical experience on the obstetrics and gynecology clerkship

Article Abstract:

A process is developed that provides Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME)-required documentation of obstetric/gynecology (OB/GYN) clinical experience comparability and mid-clerkship feedback. The Clinical Activities Tools (CATs) have facilitated successful documentation of clinical experience comparability and mid-clerkship feedback and this process is feasible and might be useful for other institutions.
