At the Department No. 2 of Obstetrics and Gynecology, theoretical, practical, and clinical classes in the discipline “Obstetrics and Gynecology” are conducted for students in accordance with the approved curriculum and course programs. The educational process is aimed at developing modern clinical thinking, reinforcing theoretical knowledge through practical skills, and building the competencies required for future professional practice.

  At the department, 5th- and 6th-year students of the Pediatrics program, 3rd-year students of Traditional Medicine, students of Higher Nursing, as well as 4th-, 5th-, and 6th-year MD students study in accordance with the course programs in “Obstetrics and Gynecology,” “Obstetrics and Gynecology in Family Medicine,” and “Nursing in Obstetrics and Gynecology.”

  The educational process at the department is organized on the basis of the current state educational standards, qualification requirements, curriculum, course program, working syllabus, and calendar-thematic plan. Teaching and methodological documentation is regularly reviewed and improved in accordance with modern requirements of medical education, current clinical protocols, and international recommendations.

  Lecture materials, practical class plans, teaching and methodological manuals, presentations, test items, clinical case problems, assessment questions, and practical skills algorithms have been prepared for all topics of the “Obstetrics and Gynecology” course. These materials are intended to support students’ independent study, consolidate their knowledge, and prepare them for final assessment.

  Along with traditional methods, modern pedagogical technologies are widely used in the educational process. These include small-group work, analysis of problem situations, clinical cases, graphic organizers, question-and-answer sessions, discussions, presentations, and decision-making based on clinical scenarios. These approaches teach students not merely to memorize ready-made information, but to analyze clinical situations and draw well-founded conclusions. 

  During practical classes, students progressively acquire the basic principles of examining obstetric and gynecological patients, including history taking, assessment of complaints, general and specialized examination, interpretation of laboratory and instrumental investigation results, differential diagnosis, and planning of treatment tactics.

  In the obstetrics section, particular attention is paid to examining pregnant women, determining gestational age, performing external obstetric examination, assessing fetal position and presentation, monitoring the fetal heart rate, observing the course of labor, and dynamically evaluating the condition of both mother and fetus. In addition to normal pregnancy and childbirth, students are taught the principles of early identification of high-risk pregnancies.

  When teaching obstetric emergencies, particular emphasis is placed on algorithms for initial assessment and urgent medical management of hemorrhage, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preeclampsia and eclampsia, fetal distress, abnormalities of labor, and other emergency situations. These topics are reinforced through clinical scenarios, algorithms, and simulation exercises.

  Gynecology classes cover the main diseases of the female reproductive system, inflammatory conditions, menstrual disorders, benign diseases of the uterus and adnexa, genital prolapse, reproductive health, infertility, contraception, gynecological emergencies, and the principles of examination and management of gynecological patients.

  The department places particular emphasis on the development of practical skills. Before applying theoretical knowledge in a clinical setting, students consolidate their skills through step-by-step algorithms, simulation-based training, and supervised practical performance. Patient safety, medical ethics, deontology, and confidentiality are regarded as essential requirements in every practical skill.

  The educational process uses topic-based presentations, video materials, electronic textbooks, clinical algorithms, diagnostic images, and other multimedia resources. Electronic learning materials are systematically organized by topic, allowing classes to be conducted in a clear and visual manner and enabling complex clinical situations to be explained step by step.

  Students’ knowledge and skills are assessed through ongoing assessment, evaluation of practical skills, test assignments, oral questioning, clinical case problems, and clinical tasks. Assessment takes into account not only the student’s knowledge of the topic, but also clinical reasoning, the ability to justify a diagnosis, perform differential diagnosis, and select safe treatment tactics.

  Considerable attention is also given to students’ independent learning. Topics, recommended literature, clinical scenarios, and directions for essays and presentations are provided for independent work, and completed assignments are supervised by department teachers. The aim is to develop students’ skills in working with scientific literature, analyzing information, and drawing evidence-based conclusions.

  An important part of the department’s teaching and methodological activities is the continuous improvement of teachers’ pedagogical skills, peer observation of classes, open lessons, methodological discussions, and the introduction of new educational technologies into practice. The quality of classes, continuity of topics, and compliance of teaching materials with current requirements are regularly analyzed.

  Cooperation with clinical training sites is of particular importance in the educational process. Under the supervision of teachers, students analyze clinical cases in obstetrics and gynecology, participate in patient examination and assessment, learn the principles of working with medical documentation, and connect theoretical knowledge with real clinical situations.

  The department provides access to educational literature and electronic resources related to the discipline. Students are encouraged to use textbooks, study guides, clinical recommendations, atlases, and electronic information sources in Uzbek, Russian, and English. This contributes to the continuous updating of knowledge in modern obstetrics and gynecology.

  The main goal of educational and teaching-methodological work is to develop in students strong theoretical knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology, safe practical skills, clinical thinking, the ability to make independent decisions, and a responsible attitude toward patients. The department staff continuously work to improve the quality of education, strengthen the teaching and methodological base, and consistently introduce modern approaches to medical education into the learning process.
