Statement on Medical Student Participation in Exam Under Anesthesia
In line with APGO's statement on medical student participation in conducting pelvic exams under anesthesia:
We recommend that learners in the clinical setting, including in the operating room when the patient is under anesthesia, should only perform a pelvic examination for teaching purposes when the pelvic exam is:
• Explicitly consented to;
• Related to the planned procedure;
• Performed by a student who is recognized by the patient as a part of their care team; AND
• Done under direct supervision by the educator.
The students should ask themselves:
If yes to the above, AND they feel comfortable performing an EUA, then perform the exam.
If any are not true, then the student should decline the exam. This is messaged to all educators. As Education Director, Dr. Lager will support the student decision.
