Hypothesis or Research Question We hypothesize that patients exposed to alternative therapies such as music, and calming nature scenes will have decreased VAS scores for pain following vaginal reconstructive surgery when compared to controls. We further hypothesize that patients who experience the modified post-operative environment will report an improvement in overall satisfaction when providing their Postoperative Environment 2 overall hospital rating and will be more likely to refer their friends to the hospital for care in the future, as measured by the HCAHPS and VAS satisfaction scores.

    Title of Clerkship: UroGynecology Elective Elective Year: Third Year Elective Department: Obstetrics and Gynecology Type of Elective: Clinical __x__ Clerkship Site: ProMedica Toledo and Flower Hospitals and Parkway Surgery Center Course Number: OBGY 766 Blocks Available: ALL Number of Students/Block: 1 Coordinating Faculty: Dr. Dani Zoorob Elective Description/Requirements: The Third Year Elective in UroGynecology is a 4-week clinical rotation during which students participate in the evaluation and treatment of middle-aged and mature women with concerns related to pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and pelvic floor dysfunction. The Third Year Elective’s premise is one that provides the opportunity for a student to develop medical and surgical skillsets in UroGynecology. The context also stresses the more active role of a student in the diagnosis, workup, and management of these conditions within a controlled-learning environment at the UroGynecology office as well as in the Operating Room. The student will be observing pessary fittings and urodynamics procedures - and will be involved in patient identification, findings, and case analysis. Furthermore, the student will join the pelvic floor physical therapist sessions where treatments for management of pelvic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction are offered. Related education will be provided by the involved doctor in pelvic floor physical therapy. Through this exposure, the student will further develop interpersonal and communication skills with members of the healthcare team as well as with patients/families. The student is expected to contribute to the patient plan development based on high-quality, safe, evidence-based, cost-effective and individualized care. Day-to-day activities include the following: evaluation of new patients, writing notes on patients, patient presentation to faculty, short presentations when in clinic regarding topics pre-selected by the course mentor, assisting in surgical cases.
