Education
The Division of Gynecologic
Oncology plays an active role in the educational activities of the Department
of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Divisional faculty supervise third-year medical
students, lecture in the third year clerkship, conduct formal discussions in
wards and clinics with medical students and conduct oral and written examinations
for students.
Residents in Obstetrics
and Gynecology rotate through the Gynecologic Oncology service so that each
resident at completion of his or her training is fully knowledgeable in the
work-up and management of patients with pre-invasive and malignant gynecologic
disease. Areas also include complicated gynecologic disease, management of the
critically ill patient, chemotherapy administration, and psychosocial needs
of the terminally ill patient and her family.
The teaching of gynecologic
oncology occurs through a variety of activities. These activities include:
- Discussions and daily
bedside rounds
- Pre- and post-operative
care and management
- Outpatient (i.e., colposcopy,
laser, LEEP) and inpatient (surgical anatomy, retroperitoneal exploration,
radical surgery) surgical procedures.
- Monthly Morbidity and
Mortality Conference
- Monthly Gyn Oncology
case presentation at Resident and Faculty Conference
- Weekly Multidisciplinary
Gyn Oncology/Radiation Oncology conference
Research
The Division of Gynecologic Oncology has been a full member
of the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) since 1985. The GOG is a non-profit organization with the purpose of promoting
excellence in the quality and integrity of clinical and basic scientific research
in the field of Gynecologic malignancies. The Group is committed to maintaining
the highest standards in clinical trials development, execution, analysis and
distribution of results. Continuous evaluation of our processes is utilized
in order to constantly improve the quality of patient care. To promote this
mission, the GOG receives support from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of
the National Institutes for Health (NIH). At the University of Cincinnati we
