Learning outcomes
The course consists of a theoretical part, which introduces students to the basic knowledge necessary for practical training. The theoretical part is divided into several thematic blocks ? general gynecology, reproduction and sexuality, oncogynecology, urogynecology, perinatology, and fetal medicine. The practical part includes the interpretation of ultrasound findings in gynecology and obstetrics, cardiotocogram analysis, video presentations of surgical procedures, assisting in these procedures, differential diagnostics, participation in a multidisciplinary oncogynecological seminar, and practical training on ultrasound, laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, and obstetric simulators.
Upon completion of the course, students should have theoretical knowledge of the physiological course of the different phases of a woman's life (childhood, reproductive age, postmenopause, senium). They should also understand the physiological course of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. On a practical level, they should be able to take a comprehensive gynecological history, perform a gynecological examination, conduct basic gynecological ultrasound, and carry out basic fetal ultrasound examinations. Furthermore, they should be able to assist in gynecological surgeries and describe the principles of managing a physiological birth. The course provides essential knowledge that every graduate of the general medicine program should master and forms a necessary foundation for further postgraduate education in the field of gynecology and obstetrics.
