Description

OBJECTIVES - Upon completion of the Obstetrics & Gynaecology course you should be able to:

- take a history, carry out a thorough physical examination, obtain and interpret the relevant investigations and be able to recognise the common disorders of the female reproductive system;

- competently handle emergency situations until such time as a more experienced person becomes available;

- handle common gynaecological disorders seen in primary care practice and to carry out those practical procedures involved in preventative care;

- understand antenatal and postnatal care of normal women and be able to recognise deviations from the normal;

- consult the relevant literature and persons in order to be able to practice evidence based medicine;

- carry out the specific procedures identified in the specific behavioural objectives.

Learning will be based primarily on clinical experiences during attachments to O&G units in one of the Faculty's clinical schools. This will be supported by a lecture and tutorial program.

Assessment will include satisfactory completion of the generic learning plan, observed patient assessments and a literature review.
