Use of the Internet for obstetricians and gynecologists

The Internet may be a valuable tool for finding medical information. Since the Internet is a vast network of information, users should know how to access it to get the most from it. Users should start with a computer with a high speed processor and modem. Search engines known as browsers are computer programs that enable users to intelligently navigate the plethora of information. Uniform Resource Locators, URLs, are Internet addresses of specific information sites. Bookmarks are browser functions that allow the user to save the path to a particular URL.

Primary care by obstetricians and gynecologists: attitudes of the members of the South Atlantic Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
Article Abstract:
Some obstetric-gynecologists provide typical primary care services but most do not provide long-term care outside their specialty. Questionnaires concerning health care services were completed by 227 doctors affiliated with the South Atlantic Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. General practitioners provided routine screening tests and treatment for short-term illnesses for both women of childbearing age and menopausal women more often than specialists. Neither group provided care for long-term illnesses nor did they feel it appropriate to train their residents to do so.

Colorectal cancer screening by obstetrician-gynecologists
Article Abstract:
Many OB/GYNs do not use fecal blood tests or flexible sigmoidoscopy to detect colorectal cancer in their patients. In 1996, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommended annual rectal exams, periodic fecal blood tests, and flexible sigmoidoscopy every 3 to 5 years.
