8. First Cycle

9. OBGYN
Credit hours: 8
First Three Weeks: including the patient safety lectures.
Theory lectures.
Tutorials.
Skills
Four weeks: (logbook+ writing cases)
Clinical rotation: history, physical examination.
Sessions with doctors.
Attending clinics.
Attending surgeries.
On call: delivery room, ER. (2 days only)
Clinics: everyday the doctors have a meeting from 8-9 you can attend (optional) or ditch and sleep in
check which days the doctor has clinics (some don't give sessions unless its the same day as the clinic ex. two days a week so make sure when they're there), OR, rounds if you are interested in attending or if the doctor wants you to attend
go to the clinics prepared, at least read a few lectures before meeting the doctor so you can discuss something in the session
your experience in the clinic depends on the doctors so it's better to ask around
always take a note pad with you because some doctors hint at the exams or OSCE (ex. Dr. Abdlwahab and Dr.Saed When I took a session with them, they mentioned things like "this comes frequently in the osce" or "you will be asked in the exam". They are amazing tutors btw and will show or discuss interesting cases.)
We had a logbook to fill out (we had to attend 2 normal deliveries, 1 cesarean, a laparoscopy, a laparotomy, dilatation and curettage, case presentation, write down 2 cases) heard that you don't have one after we complained about it. If you don't have a logbook then your life will be so much easier.

What to expect in the exam:
I'm not sure what the department has told you in orientation or what they have in mind for your batch so I don't know if you're going to get the same thing or there are some changes but just for a heads up to let you know
1.Midterm:
in the midterm the questions were mostly case based (in the attachment in our mid MCQs)
I didn't read the previous MCQs but from what I heard is there weren't any questions from them, and only a few were repeated
mostly focused on gynecology (amenorrhea, fibroids..) and bit of obstetrics (diabetes, hypertension,managing different fetal presentations, RH isoimmunization ..)
Diagnosis of a case is based on what is written in the lecture and what the doctor's mentioned
knowing the diagnostic tests and type of management is important:
Gyn: for example you'll have a case of bleeding: post partum hemorrhage/post menopausal bleeding/menorrhagia so you should differentiate from medical what type of medications or surgical such as hysterectomy with or without oophorectomy, dilatation, curettage, etc 
Obs: for example presentation of fetus and how to manage, normal delivery or c-section. Diagnostic tests: blood sugar, glucose challenge test, ultrasound: fetal 
Tutorials were included
no oncology in midterm, but there were questions about fibroids
2. Final:
oncology was added to the things we had to study in the midterm
the questions were more direct and based on memorization and there were less case based questions
I don't know if the MCQ team have a file for the question but from what I remember:
there were less case based questions and more direct ones that rely on pure memorization 
an example: "You are in a session and a colleague asked you this question: what is the length of the (something to do with the pelvic inlet: one of the conjugates not sure which one) and the answers were in centimeters. 
tutorials were included (even the patient safety one). Patient safety question: you are in a clinic treating  a child. The patient was seen by a doctor the day before and was sent home. You felt that the doctor made a mistake and the patient should have been admitted immediately. Should you: tell the parents the doctor was wrong, keep quiet ...
Patient safety: I don't know about you guys, but we had some patient safety lectures that we were examined on separately after the final. They were 10 questions but they weren't included and they don't know what to do with the grades. 
3. DXR:
I don't know if you are required to it but this is what happened with us:
I suggest you get all the green stars in each case because it's supposed to be out of 10 and only one person I believe got a full mark. Everyone else got a random grade. They told us that they'll give out the grade depending on the average but they didn't tell us what the average is and 9ara7a 4alamona bil 3alamat. 
There are some girls who screen saved the answers somewhere. So my advice is stay on the safe side, forget about being an honest person and just copy all the answers and get them all right.

- MCQs: 80 questions, the questions are straight forward but really long and you just have 1.5 minute for each question.
So to save time, read the question first so you can sort out what is the important information that will help you answer the question. The question is style is similar to the USMLE. A few are short straight forward ones.
- Important lectures: Red flags and fractures, study them very well, especially the management (for all lectures): what is the initial, most important, diagnostic investigation for each case. 
They contain the most questions and are the longest cases, so you should know them by heart and you'll do well.

Know the proper technique and order for everything.

ENT: post/pre-op case, history+physical examination, grades vary on tutor
2) MCQs: each question has 1 mark
study from the previous groups, if you have time check the old MCQs from previous years
- optha: important lectures: 
anatomy (any kind of anatomy not the first lec only ex. cranial nerve supply etc.), systemic diseases, pharma
those you should know very well (doesn't mean you should ignore the rest of the lectures)
- ENT: previous groups are important some of the questions are repeated
the questions focused on the ear diseases and the speech lecture
carcinoma not very important, for our group they just mentioned the nasopharyngeal
3) SAQ: expect anything really, but previous SAQs from previous years (the old OSCE) are very important
You should not go into the exam unless you've read them
4) OSCE:
- optha: 2 stations, eye exam no history. One of the doctors did something to "trick" the students
The station was pupillary eye reflex and the only device you need is a torch for the examination. He put on the table extra stuff such as a prism and a pinhole which you don't need to use specifically for this examination. You loose marks if you used the "extra" equipment
- ENT: 2 stations, history AND physical in one station. Unfortunately some doctors didn't tell the students when half of the time was up so they didn't have time to cover everything completely. Bring a watch to keep track and don't depend on the doctor to manage your time

Anyone can have mental illness.

“I keep forgetting, it’s like I have Alzheimer’s”
“You must have ADHD, you can’t concentrate”
