The session will detail common paediatric complaints and also explore obstetric history, handling sensitive questions about miscarriages, and ectopics. Also, understand common obstetric complications like ectopic pregnancies, placental abruption, placenta praevia, and more. This profoundly informative session further delves into gynae history-taking and the typical gynae complaints. From PID, endometrial cancer, fibroids to PCOS, get equipped with comprehensive knowledge about gynaecological histories.

Description

History taking part 1: This session will involve a breakdown of how to take a standard history in an ISCE station. It will also focus on more niche history taking such as paeds and obs&gynae histories. Lastly we will cover common presentations for these histories and differential diagnoses to keep in mind

Learning objectives

  1. By the end of the session, learners should be able to effectively take a standard medical history, including understanding the significance of presenting complaints, relevant system reviews, past medical history, drug history, family history, and social history.

  2. Participants will learn about specific considerations and important factors when taking a pediatric patient's history, including specific questions regarding pregnancy and birth, growth and development, vaccination history, and child's living situation.

  3. Learners should be able to identify and discuss common paediatric and obstetric presenting complaints, understanding the potential underlying causes and condition characteristics.

  4. Participants will gain knowledge on how to properly take an obstetric history, focusing on important aspects such as gravida and parity, exploring symptoms, and understanding the significance of the 4 P’s: Pain, PV discharge, PV bleeding & pre-eclampsia.

  5. Learners will acquire understanding and competency in gynaecological history taking, including exploring symptoms, gynaecological system reviews, subfertility/infertility considerations, menstrual history, obstetric history, sexual history, and the significance of contraception and cervical smear history.
