Results: Establishing consistency among the different OB/GYN clerkship sites is an LCME standard, regarding educational resources, clinical instruction, and the impact of health care inequities and disparities is important (LCME standards 5.5 and 7.6). However clinical sites vary and multiple challenges are often encountered in attaining consistency in the learning environment and educational experiences. Discuss consistency challenges among clerkship sites, approaches to improve each challenge, and comment section based on content from interactive open discussion of cases
