Reproductive Health and Care of the Newborn course, includes the medical areas of obstetrics, care of the new born baby, gynaecology, and sexual health. The unit covers some of the most intriguing areas in medicine, and will introduce the student to some of the ethical issues raised by the impact of new technologies in this field.
The objectives of the Unit are:
After an introductory week of lectures each student will be attached to an Academy for 8 weeks of clinical experience. During this time they attend a basic number of core clinical sessions and teaching. A wealth of teaching is experiential as students’ progress through the clinical attachments and special teaching days.
Summative Assessment – All Year 4 Units have:
1. An Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) with stations on neonatal health, child health, reproductive health, psychiatry, primary care, dermatology, medicine for older people, peri-operative medicine and critical care.
2. Two written papers, each consisting of 100 best-of-5 multiple choice questions:
Formative Assessment - During the course of the year each student will be given feedback to assist their learning.
Key vehicles for collecting and giving this feedback will include:
1) Performing two OSCE stations in each unit, run by the academies
2) Three internal students selected components:
3) Review of the logbooks and portfolios in each unit.
