OBJECTIVE: To evaluate obstetrics and gynecology resident satisfaction with a comprehensive, integrated abortion rotation. METHODS: The University of Californ ia, San Francisco obstetrics and gynecology residency program includes a 6-week PGY-3 family planning rotation at an in-hospital clinic where abortions are p rovided up to 23 weeks of gestation. Residents annually evaluate the educational value of all clinical rotations on a 5-point Likert scale, with 5 indicating “ maximum value,” and 1 “no value.” Using data from 1998-2003, we compared rating s of the family planning rotation with all other PGY-3 rotations. We also surve yed residents 1 to 3 years after graduation to assess the rotation qualitatively and quantitatively. RESULTS: Forty residents completed the abortion training, n one opted out of training, and all completed the evaluations. Of all rotations i n the third year, the family planning rotation was the highest rated (4.70), was similar in value to a high-volume surgical rotation (4.51, P >.10) and the ele ctive rotation (4.45, P >.05), and surpassed the average score for all inpatient rotations (4.00, P < .001), continuity clinic (4.10, P < .001), and outpatient clinical experiences (4.06, P < .01). According to residency graduates, the fami ly planning rotation was rated 4.8 (where 5 indicates “far greater value”than other rotations), and 85%of respondents rated it of “maximum learning value.” CONCLUSION: Obstetrics and gynecology residente place high value in the Universi ty of California, San Francisco PGY-3 family planning rotation during their tra ining and in their first years of practice.
