Description

Today, we will be reviewing how to approach an obstetrics and gynaecology station. This will involve an overview of specific things to ask in these histories, discussing important conditions to know for this station, and then going through some example stations.

We aim to keep this session short and sweet ahead of your mock ISCE, with lots of interaction through Menti! This session will be particularly useful if you haven't started your WCF block!

Learning objectives

  1. By the end of the session, the audience should be able to describe and understand how to structure Obstetric and Gynaecological (O+G) histories.
  2. Participants should be proficient in identifying and understanding significant conditions within the O+G field.
  3. Participants should be able to interpret case studies related to O+G, proposing differentials, investigations and management options.
  4. The audience should be able to correctly formulate Obstetric and Gynaecological (O+G) summaries and case reviews by the end of the discussion.
