Course description
By the end of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology course, you will have developed your knowledge, skills, personal attributes and acquired further clinical skills in women's health. During the course, you will be assigned to an Obstetrics and Gynaecology unit in a hospital within a Clinical School for six weeks of work-integrated learning. You will be an active participant of the medical team involved in the patient's care during this period, and will be expected to discuss problems and management plans using critical reasoning. You will receive instruction on how to take a patient's history and perform a physical examination. You will learn about progress in labour and the technique of a normal delivery. It is expected that you will achieve a solid foundation to critically evaluate issues in women's health and reproductive health care.
