12. CBD
It is a group of vides around 30 video talk about different subjects in the OB\GYNE .
They send it to you one day or one week before the session. With Questions you need to answer them. Prepare well for it because they will evaluate you without you knowing it IS YOU !
You will be divided to smaller groups.
If you prepared well for it it will help you a lot in the exam.

13. Mini-CEX This time you will know that you will be evaluated.
Your name will be set in the sechedule with a consultant. Read about the common things in the specialty of that consultant.
Sometime you will be evaluated on history taking, labor room, clinics..etc
If you will be evaluated in the history, take it one day before your evaluation.
If you scored less than 4 sometime they will reevaluate you.

14. Skill lab: Each group goes more than once.
It’s in the medical education
It’s a simulated dummy that acts like it’s giving birth. It actually screams and blink.
Practice how to deliver the placenta, because this came as an OSCE station.
Make sure to know the instrument and get the objectives of the skill lab from your doctor who gives the session

15. ER
At the beginning of the shift, introduce yourself to the resident in charge, and tell them you’ll be staying with them. They can be really helpful
We were distributed to groups of 3-4 students, and had to attend the ER either the morning shift (8am – 4 pm) or the evening shift (4 pm to 12 am).
There might be emergency OR that you can attend
Depends on your luck, no certain times for patients to come
My experience, there wasn’t any activities.

16. Labor and delivery:
We were distributed to groups of 4-5 students, Attend full day of delivery.
You must wear the clean green scrubs inside the L&D.
You are required to write the cases you see in your logbooks(2 at least?) . You’re required to attend a C-section.
C-sections usually are held in the OR of the obgyne L&D ward, unless it’s already occupied. Attend full day of C-secation.
For those who could not attend, we ask the department to take on-calls.

17. Logbook
Take it with you all the time either clinics, OR, delivery, ER.
Any thing you see ask the consultant to sign for you.
It is about the common things they do it in ob\gyne, like C-section, delivery, menopause, feeding, speculum..etc.
You will submit 2 cases ( full history and examination) one OB and the other Gyne.

Keep quiet, respect that it’s a working place filled with sick people
Respect the rules of sterility (don’t touch the sterile zone)

44. Elective

45. An online form will be sent to you from Dr
An online form will be sent to you from Dr. Elizabeth about 2-3 weeks into the year. You will be given a deadline to choose a subspecialty of your choice to do your elective in.
There are international electives only to Korea “ for 4th year medical students’ and in Saudi Arabia. Or you can apply to any hospital you want internationally and bring the acceptance to Dr. Elizabeth
If you are interested in a subspecialty, choose that… explore it before you choose to make it your career.
If you are undecided about a subspecialty, choose something general so that you can see different cases rather then focus on a certain thing (example: general surgery Vs. thyroid surgery)
You might want to put in mind that you want to either rule in or rule out a specialty from your future plan
430 advice… choose something you will not experience in 4th or 5th year… (example, don’t do ER… as it will be covered in 5th year, unless its something you are considering as a future career)…

46. For electives inside KKUH or KAUH, Dr
For electives inside KKUH or KAUH, Dr. Elizabeth was responsible for contacting the departments
For electives outside KKUH or KAUH, make sure to ask Dr. Elizabeth about whom to contact from the hospital you want to go to, usually she will provide you with a paper and you contact the hospital.
Try to get written approvals rather than verbal, try to document all the communication that will occur between you and whoever is in charge of accepting you in the elective outside KKUH/KAUH.
Put a plan B, in case some unexpected thing happens
