Obstetrics and Gynaecology: Clinical and Basic Science Aspects

In the UK, undergraduate-level medicine has traditionally been taught in a master-apprentice style, with information about diagnosis and treatment being passed on in a didactic way and with slow updating. This textbook is designed to appeal to students with enquiring scientific minds. It covers the main topics of obstetrics and gynaecology that an undergraduate needs to learn, but with more background scientific information. This contributes to a better understanding of why the disorder occurs and to a logical grasp of how the treatment works. Therefore, the text can be used in the early stages of preparation for the MRCOG examination.
