Well its official I went to not only to the Grand Rounds at George Washington but attended the OBGYN lectures on campus which had only about 30 students in a normal size class room. So obviously I stuck out like a sore thumb because only 5 of the 30 students knew me from the rotation here at Holy Cross but I was warmly welcomed by both the professors at GW and some of the staff at the Dept. of Education in Charge of OBGYN. I introduced myself, reminded them that I was in fact a visiting student so to give them another oppurtunity to wisk me on my way if they had second thoughts about me attending their lectures (which of course is the right thing to do as I am not a student there technically and you dont want to be assuming since Im not paying their tuition) but to my surprise they were more than gracious and have invited me to any and all didactic lectures pertaining to OBGYN throughout the entire rotation here at Holy Cross. Remember there are also lectures here at holy cross hospital but these are over and above what is offered at the hospital. I am certain that any student from Saba who does this rotation will be extended the same courtesy and trust me it is an honor because they are paying 40 grand a year in tuition so its nothing to balk at. After each lecture I personally thanked the professor again for allowing me to sit in on his lectures. We as foreign students do have something to offer because in sharing our experiences with the AMG's brings us all together because lets face once in practice we are all on the same team. Some of the teachers are of course amazing. The students are also very nice and as far as I can tell give us alot of credit because they know that we have to jump through many hoops and are pretty supportive. We are all in the same boat anyway. Again if OB is a possibility for someone out there this rotation is highly recommended. Good Luck to All. Scott Jones
