Program Summary
Obstetrics and gynecology is a medical course that focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. It combines two closely related fields: obstetrics, which deals with pregnancy, labor, and the postnatal period, and gynecology, which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the female reproductive organs. The course covers topics such as prenatal care, fetal development, labor management, contraception, infertility, gynecological diseases, and surgical procedures like cesarean sections and hysterectomies. Students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills through clinical rotations, where they learn to diagnose and manage conditions related to women's health. The course also emphasizes preventive care, patient education, and advancements in reproductive medicine. It requires strong communication skills, critical thinking, and the ability to handle complex medical situations.
