Mastering the DRCOG (Paperback)

The Diploma of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (DRCOG) is a well-regarded post-graduate qualification in women's health. The DRCOG is particularly respected among primary care and community sexual and reproductive health clinicians. Studying towards this qualification is rewarding and fun, and as such the exam has become extremely popular over recent years. In addition, holding the DRCOG has proved to be a useful indicator by which employers can differentiate excellent clinicians from the average ones. It certainly is the cherry on the cake of General Practice training, and complements the RCGP curriculum. Mastering the DRCOG is organised to directly reflect and fulfil the DRCOG syllabus set by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in April 2007, and chapters are laid out precisely following the DRCOG syllabus format. Starting with an overall introduction to the exam, the book then covers the seven core modules of the syllabus: Basic Clinical Skills, Basic Surgical Skills, Antenatal Care, Management of Labour and Delivery, Postpartum and Neonatal Problems, Gynaecological Problems and Subfertility & Contraception. This is followed by a section of 'hot topics' not specifically mentioned in the syllabus but of real interest for all those working in the area of women's health. Hot topics include the menopause and its management, abuse of women (rape, female genital mutilation, prostitution, pornography), and ethical issues such as fetal sex selection & eugenics, egg donation, breast augmentation surgery, and surrogate motherhood. Mastering the DRCOG is written in a clear and straight-forward style and is illustrated throughout. Written by a newly qualified General Practitioner fresh from the exam hall, and edited by two highly experienced Consultants, one in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, the other in Community Sexual & Reproductive Health, "Mastering the DRCOG" is a fantastic resource for anyone preparing f
