If you want a sweet 3 weeks at MCG, pick benign gyn cuz, indeed, its benign. While I was here, we had 4 students on the service, so it was straight chillin (and only one resident). Really, more than one student is almost too many. Usually 0-2 pts on the service, so rounds usually with the chief resident at 7am. I didnt carry more than one patient, usually none. Done when lecture is over usually. Alot of the surgeries are outpt, only the hysterectomies stay in house usually. 4 days OR, 1 day (Wed) AM clinic since we have the Manting session on Wed afternoon.
Surgeries: Mostly D&C, hysteroscopy, laproscopic tubals, lap exploratory, vaginal and abdominal hysterectomy. Lots of down time, since all 4 students cant go into the OR at the same time. Practice your suturing skillz, as you may get to use them.
I guess your experience will depend on the residents, but from my experience, all of them are extremely nice and willing to teach. I had a great time on the GYN service.
