OBGYN Rotation

OBGYN rotation - Dr Upputuri - A-

This is a great rotation with a great Doctor. Dr Upputuri does not only know his stuff and is up to date on all recent news in his field ( unlike other doctors at adventist), but he is an easy going, and fun to be around. He is super well rounded. Who would have that this indian doctor loves plumbing! In this rotation the busy work is cut out like taking HPI and CC so you have more time for learning. He is not difficult at all to approach at all or intimidating like other doctors i have rotated with and he encourages learning and asking questions. He often went out of his way to teach us. Surgery at the hospital is good too, he does many different procedures for which 1 student is always able to scrub in. I went to his office 3-4 times a week. If you want to see more procedures just ask and you can go with him on the weekends aswell. I have come out of rotation with a a very good handle on OB since that was most of our patient population and i also preferred that over GYN. It was awesome that the people working at the office were all so nice and helpful. The patient population was 50% spanish speaking. My advice for impressing this doctor/ getting him to like you is know your stuff for the rotation, and be able to have discussions in terms of current world and US politics... prob wouldn't hurt for you to be a republican either. Haha. I give this rotation a A- jst because sometimes there was a lot of down time being a male.

  1. You have so much useful information about your medical education and the rotations you are doing. I can't wait to get started at UMHS St. Kittsthis fall. I will definitely continue to check back with your blog to get even more information that can help me prepare for my own medical education.
