Special07 - The Obstetric and Gynaecologic Consultation

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills.

This episode outlines the essential elements of an obstetric and gynecologic consultation, emphasizing the comprehensive nature of these assessments. It highlights the importance of a detailed patient history alongside a thorough physical examination, even if practical exams with live patients are uncommon for candidates. It also stresses the need for clinicians to maintain a nonjudgmental and supportive approach, ensuring that personal beliefs do not influence patient care, especially concerning sensitive issues like pregnancy termination. Ultimately, the goal is to equip future medical professionals with the knowledge and skills to manage a wide range of female reproductive health scenarios effectively.
