that have been arranged at Emorys Dunwoody
Medical Center. The second year OB rotation
offers an invaluable experience for our
residents. Since the PGY-2 resident serves as
the primary physician handling all OB deliveries
at Dunwoody, residents have exposure to a variety
of deliveries during the rotation.
