Practically, the course focuses on student interaction with specialized centers at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, deepening their skills in taking a comprehensive gynecological history, performing gynecological examinations, conducting basic gynecological ultrasound examinations, performing basic fetal ultrasound examinations, assisting in gynecological surgeries, and managing a physiological birth. The students will be taught neonatal resuscitation both theoretically and practically. The course provides fundamental knowledge that every graduate of the general medicine program should master and forms an essential foundation for postgraduate education in gynecology and obstetrics.
