Brief Description:

The Obstetrics and Gynaecology OSCE revision course is a highly successful revision resource for 4th year and final year medical students sitting OSCE examinations specialised to Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The course led by Mr Hani J Shuheibar, consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, who has previously led and supported a similar course for over 8 years in conjunction with Manchester medical student societies. Saturday will consist of concise revision lectures relevant to Obstetrics and Gynaecology OSCE examinations encompassing different aspects of the speciality frequently examined. All lectures will be delivered by consultant obstetricians and gynaecologists who are also trained OSCE examiners. There will be opportunities to ask questions and discuss the topics throughout the day. Sunday will focus on skills based stations on the most commonly recurring themes and will include teaching from speciality trainee doctors and overseen by consultants and clinical skills tutors. Previous students attending this course have found the day very enlightening and useful and it has given them an opportunity to gain confidence in their theoretical and practical understanding of the field.

This is a non-profit course. All proceeds will be used to support medical student electives and experience placements in Gulu, Northern Uganda. We will be investing some of the proceeds in supporting medical education at Gulu University, and orphans within Gulu.

Aims/Objectives:

• Revise gynaecological and obstetric histories and explanation stations commonly examined in OSCEs.
• Review common gynaecological disorders and obstetric emergencies including investigations and management.
• Hands on revision of practical skills commonly examined in an OSCE setting such as antenatal examination, bimanual examination and breast examination.
