title: Educational responsibilities and resources of obstetrics and gynecology departments in 1975.
abstract: A survey of 108 departments of obstetrics and gynecology in United States medical schools was completed for 1975, and a statistical evaluation of their resources was made. The mean data showed that the student core clerkship had a duration of 6.9 weeks and an enrollment of 17.8 students. The departments had 11.3 full-time faculty members, 69.5 obstetric beds and 56.9 gynecologic beds. There were 3,891 deliveries, 1,846 minor gynecologic operations and 1,418 major gynecologic operations performed. These results should provide a data base upon which to compare the changes in departments in the future.
