Undergraduate education
Medical Student Education at MMC / MCM CSH
Learn obstetrics and gynecology where it happens — at the bedside, in the labor ward and in theatre — with faculty who enjoy teaching.
Clinical rotations
Your rotation map
Six places you will learn during the OB/GYN attachment.
1 · Obstetrics
Antenatal wards: history taking in pregnancy, abdominal examination, fundal height and fetal heart assessment. You learn to recognise danger signs.
2 · Gynecology
Gynecology wards: pelvic assessment with supervision, pre- and post-operative care, and common conditions such as fibroids and ovarian cysts.
3 · Labor ward
Follow women through labor, use the partograph, assist normal deliveries under supervision and learn active management of the third stage.
4 · Operating theatre
Scrub in for cesarean sections and gynecologic surgery. Learn sterile technique, surgical anatomy and safe-surgery checklists.
5 · Outpatient clinic
Antenatal, family planning and gynecology clinics: counselling, contraception, cervical screening and follow-up care.
6 · Emergency care
Recognise and respond to obstetric emergencies: bleeding, eclampsia, ectopic pregnancy and sepsis, as part of the team.
