Overview of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Obstetrics and gynecology is one of the four main disciplines of clinical medicine, mainly studying the etiology, pathology, diagnosis and prevention of female reproductive organ diseases, physiological and pathological changes of pregnancy and parturition, prevention and treatment of high-risk pregnancy and obstructed labor, female reproductive endocrinology, family planning and women’s health care. The in-depth research of modern molecular biology, oncology, genetics, reproductive endocrinology, immunology and other medical basic theories and the progress of clinical medical diagnosis and testing technology have broadened and deepened the development of obstetrics and gynecology, which plays an important role in protecting women’s physical and reproductive health and preventing and treating various obstetrical and gynecological diseases. Obstetrics and gynecology is not only closely related to clinical sciences such as surgery, internal medicine and pediatrics, but also requires basic knowledge of modern diagnostic techniques (endoscopic techniques, imaging, radiology, etc.), clinical pharmacology, pathology embryology, anatomy, epidemiology and other disciplines, and is a discipline with its own characteristics and requires comprehensive clinical and basic knowledge.
Obstetrics and gynecology training objectives.
l. Doctoral degree: the students should have a solid and broad medical basic theory and certain systematic professional knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology, and through strict clinical practice training and scientific research, they should master the relevant basic theory and complete systematic professional knowledge of the discipline, and have the ability to independently diagnose and treat common diseases and general difficult diseases in obstetrics and gynecology. They should have deep research in the field of gynecology, perinatal medicine or reproductive endocrinology, respectively, and understand and master modern diagnosis and treatment techniques and research progress in this field. They should have a rigorous and realistic scientific attitude, the ability to independently engage in clinical scientific research in obstetrics and gynecology, and master certain experimental research methods and skills in molecular biology. He/she should have strong teaching ability and be competent in clinical dunning of medical undergraduates and guidance of residents and trainees. Master at least one foreign language, be able to read foreign language materials of the specialty, and have certain writing ability and ability to conduct international academic communication. Complete a dissertation with a certain degree of innovation. Reach the level of attending physician or assistant researcher.
2.Master’s degree: should systematically master the professional knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology and the basic knowledge about clinical research, have strong clinical work ability have a rigorous and realistic scientific attitude and style, friendly advice: regular participation in medical tests will be early control of disease. Be able to independently conduct scientific research and teaching in obstetrics and gynecology. On this basis, it is required to have a certain depth of research in obstetrics, gynecology or reproductive endocrinology respectively, and complete a dissertation with certain new insights. Be more proficient in a foreign language and be able to read foreign language materials in this specialty. Reach the level of senior year resident or senior year internship fellow.
Scope of Practice in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
l. Scope of disciplinary research: The scope of disciplinary research is divided into six main areas.
(l) General gynecology: research on the occurrence and development of infection, trauma, prolapse, developmental malformation and endometriosis of female reproductive organs, as well as diagnosis and prevention.
(2) Gynecologic Oncology: focuses on the study of female reproductive tract tumors, especially common malignant tumors. The Department applies knowledge of molecular biology, genetics, viral etiology, tumor pathology, immunology, etc. to explore the etiology, pathogenesis and mechanisms of gynecologic malignancies; research on various tumor markers and their clinical application, various methods of chemical sensitivity testing and their application in tumor chemotherapy; research on various adjuvant diagnostic techniques, gynecologic tumor pathology, as well as surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, biological and immunological agents, etc. (2) Research on the application of various therapeutic regimens and factors related to efficacy and prognosis.
(3) Perinatal medicine: monitoring of fetus and its maturity (intrauterine fetal monitoring, placental function and fetal maturity examination); intrauterine diagnosis of fetal congenital malformations and genetic diseases; etiology, pathology and treatment of gestational hypertension syndrome; high-risk pregnancy (intrauterine fetal growth retardation, gestational cholestasis syndrome, diagnosis of pregnancy complications, placental insufficiency); biophysical monitoring during labor; diagnosis and treatment of obstructed labor.
(4) Female Reproductive Endocrinology: research on the etiology and pathology of female reproductive endocrine diseases; research on infertility and pregnancy assistance techniques.
(5) Family planning research; research and clinical application of contraceptives in female family planning.
(6) Women’s health: study of physiological changes and health care measures in various periods of women’s lives, including adolescence, perinatal period, menopause and old age preparation health care and disease prevention measures.
