Obstetrics and Gynaecologygy – Clinical Cases Uncovered

Divided into three sections - Part 1 - Basics; Part 2 - Cases; and Part 3 - Self-assessment - the presentation-based approach mimics real-life clinical practice.

Part 1 provides a quick reminder of the basic science, history and examination, and key diagnoses in the area.

Part 2 contains many of the clinical presentations students would be expected to see on the wards or crop up in exams, with 'stop and think' questions and answers leading the reader through each case. The cases give full explanations of the correct management and why other options fall down. New information, such as test results, is revealed as events unfold and each case concludes with a handy case summary explaining the key points.

Part 3 allows students to test their learning with several question styles they are familiar with - MCQs, EMQs and SAQs.

With it's strong clinical focus and case-based style, Obstetrics & Gynaecology is ideal for students studying this core clinical curriculum topic in a problem-based learning environment, used to learning around a focal problem. The cases also provide invaluable material for students practising their clinical reasoning skills.
