Description
Objectives: To be able to take a history and perform a physical examination relevant to the female reproductive system; to recognise common disorders of the female reproductive system; to manage common medical gynaecological disorders likely to be encountered in primary care practice; to provide antenatal and postnatal care for normal women and to recognise deviations from normal; to be able to provide emergency care when indicated and to know the indications for referral. The program consists of tutorials in core subjects, clinical, physiological and pathological conferences and simulated patient management problem exercises. Students are taught in small tutorial groups. Supervised clinical experience is gained in outpatient clinics, inpatient services and the labour wards of The Royal Hospital for Women, St George, Bankstown, and Liverpool hospitals. Some undergraduates currently spend six months in the hospitals in Wagga Wagga and Albury in a combined Paediatric/Obstetrics & Gynaecology term. From 2004, hospitals in Coffs Harbour & Port Macquarie will provide teaching for students who will spend the whole nine week term at the School of Rural Health sites. Neonatal paediatric experience is integrated with the teaching of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Full details are described in a booklet published by the School. Assessment: Continuing evaluation of clinical work, a multiple choice examination and an objective, structured clinical examination in the last week of term.
