Who should take OBGY 719?
OBGY 719 is the exit residential which covers revision of topics selected by candidates and tutors. The aim of the paper is to provide revision on topics which may have been covered in the PGDipOMG programme.
The course includes a variety of topics covering O&G and neonates, and largely uses interactive case-based teaching to cover aspects less easily learned via reading and video-based conferences.
