Foreword
Welcome to one of the most innovative and useful textbooks in obstetrics and gynecology. The chapters in this book are organized around the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO) Medical Student Education Objectives, ninth edition.
In fact, each chapter of Obstetrics and Gynecology, seventh edition, begins with the learning objectives, and the body of the text will give you the information needed to achieve the learning objectives. The APGO educational objectives were created by the APGO Undergraduate Medical Education Committee. This committee consists of renowned medical educators, clerkship directors, and program directors from across the United States and Canada. The objectives are revised on a regular basis to assure currency and relevance in developing a curriculum for the obstetrics and gynecology clerkship. Students on their first, or even elective, obstetrics and gynecology clerkship experience will find that these objectives guide learning and mastery of the concepts needed to succeed in their ob-gyn clerkship. Through this organization, the text is easy to read, yet is very complete in giving all the information necessary to master the learning objectives.APGO is an organization dedicated to providing optimal resources and support to educators who inspire, instruct, develop, and empower the women’s health care providers of tomorrow. APGO will celebrate its 50th year of service to students and their mentors in 2013. APGO’s resources are designed to assist faculty and students meet their educational goals. Through its Web site www.apgo.org, medical students will find a host of useful modules and resources to aid in their learning of obstetrics and gynecology. The APGO Undergraduate Web-Based Interactive Self-Evaluation (uWISE) is an interactive self-exam designed to help medical students acquire the necessary basic knowledge in obstetrics and gynecology, regardless of future medical specialty choice. This self-learning resource is a widely used tool in gaining an understanding of the fundamental concepts in obstetrics and gynecology. The APGO Web site has many other useful tools for the student and educator to use in their development. Most medical school programs are members and can provide the student with free access to the rich and robust resources on this Web site.
We at APGO wish you an enjoyable and successful journey through your learning experience in obstetrics and gynecology.
