Description

This book is designed for medical graduates who have undertaken general hospital training and wish to undertake postgraduate studies in obstetrics and gynaecology. This includes specialist trainees and general practitioners. The book will also be useful for medical undergraduates and midwives and midwifery students.

Examination Obstetrics & Gynaecology is an accessible rapid reference appropriate for daily use in a busy ward, clinic or surgery. Fully revised and updated, and building upon resources developed during the authors’ specialist training for RANZCOG qualifications, and refined by practical clinical experience, it provides a summary of important and essential information needed in women’s health. Organised in a note and checklist format, it utilises a step-by-step guide to diagnosis, investigations and suggested treatments appropriate to primary consultation prior to specialist referral.
