Abstract This article, from the “To The Point” series prepared by the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics Undergraduate Medical Education Committee, provides an overview of the ...characteristics of Millennials, and describes how medical educators can customize and reframe their curricula and teaching methods to maximize Millennial learning. A literature search was performed to identify articles on generational learning. We summarize the importance of understanding the attitudes, ideas, and priorities of Millennials in order to tailor educational methods to stimulate and enhance learning. Where relevant, a special focus on the Obstetrics and Gynecology curriculum is highlighted.
This article, from the To the Point series prepared by the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics Undergraduate Medical Education Committee, provides educators with an overview of ...considerations for obstetrics and gynecology global health experiences for the medical student. Options for integration of obstetrics and gynecology global health into undergraduate medical curricula are discussed. Specific considerations for global health clinical experiences for medical students, including choosing a clinical location, oversight and mentorship, goals and objectives, predeparture preparation, and evaluation, are reviewed.
This article, from the “To the Point” series that is prepared by the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics Undergraduate Medical Education Committee, is a review of considerations ...for teaching the medical student in the operating room during the obstetrics/gynecology clerkship. The importance of the medical student operating room experience and barriers to learning in the operating room are discussed. Specific considerations for the improvement of medical student learning and operating room experience, which include the development of operating room objectives and specific curricula, an increasing awareness regarding role modeling, and faculty development, are reviewed.
This article, from the “To the Point” series prepared by the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO) Undergraduate Medical Education Committee (UMEC), provides educators with an ...overview of the use of simulation in undergraduate medical education in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Simulation plays an important role in the education of medical students. Students are increasingly serving as clinical observers and providing less direct patient care. Simulation can help standardize education and ensure quality and comparability across an enlarging educational environment. This article summarizes the expanding role of simulation in undergraduate medical education in obstetrics and gynecology and its effect on important learner outcomes such as confidence, knowledge, skills, workplace behaviors, and translation to patient care.
