There are numerous teaching and learning methods used, with the emphasis on active learning methods including, but not limited to: case based learning, large group lectures, seminars, tutorials and clinics and other sessions in hospital. There will be self-directed research and/or study, case presentations, and critical analysis.


Clinical Learning

Obstetric Duties
Attendance at antenatal clinics, conduct of normal labour and delivery and observation of abnormal cases gives insight into the spectrum of common conditions, most of which will be met at some time in practice.        

Students’ personal cases and deliveries require detailed observation of antenatal, labour and postnatal care and infant care.  Adequate postnatal care includes observation of lactation, involution and the psychological development of the mother-child relationship.

Labour Ward
Students are rostered to the labour ward four times during their rotation. These are all day sessions and include weekend and after-hours work. They aim to provide students with the opportunity to conduct spontaneous vaginal deliveries with the help of the midwifery staff in charge.

Gynaecological duties
Students are rostered to attend gynaecological outpatient sessions where there will be the opportunity to take a history and examine outpatients with the Consultant/Registrar attending the Clinic. Students should clerk patients being admitted for elective gynaecological surgery, with the opportunity to attend theatre sessions when a patient they have clerked is having an operation. Students should also attend enough other theatre sessions to ensure a familiarity with the commonly performed gynaecological procedures. The postoperative progress of the patient(s) who have been clerked should be followed and the pathology reports should be examined before discharge

Neonatal Medicine
Students will have weekly neonatal tutorials and will also be rostered to follow the neonatal registrar for one morning.  It is expected that students will be able to demonstrate skills in the examination of the normal neonate and knowledge of common problems that occur in the neonatal period.

Friday Afternoon Tutorials
Members of the academic and visiting staff will run whole-of-class tutorials in weeks 3-8 in selected topics, between 2:00pm and 5:00pm in the seminar room in the Robinson Institute, 55 King William Rd North Adelaide. The tutorials will be interactive.


e-Learning
Students will be provided with an iPad for use during the 9 weeks of their attachment. iPads have been especially configured for the course. They may also be used to undertake on-line written assessments.

On Line Chapters
A series of on line chapters covering some core topics in Obstetrics and Gynaecology is available through the Intellilearn web site. Students will be automatically enrolled at the beginning of the term and must register with the site.

The site includes optional multi-choice questions based on these topics.  There is no restriction on the number of attempts at the MCQ's, which are intended to stimulate students’ thinking about the topics.

eMedici
eMedici now includes case material and related formative assessment in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

MyUni course in Human Reproductive Health
Every student is automatically enrolled in the course in Human Reproductive Health in the My Uni web site. This site is under review for 2013 and will predominantly be used for formative on-line and summative on-line assessments.

Workload for the individual students will vary from week to week but students can assume that on average they will work a 45 hour week which will include clinic sessions, lectures (both delivered and online), seminars, tutorials and private study. After hours and weekend work may also be required to meet clinical requirements.

The thematic structure of the Year 5 MBBS Program will be provided and discussed at the start of the program and is discussed in detail in the student handbook (provided to students on the first day of their rotation). Please note that the following applies only to the metropolitan students undertaking Human Reproductive Health. Students attached to the Discipline of Rural Health undergo separate orientation and clinical learning opportunities.

Week	Topic	Lecture
Week 1	Warm up week	Introduction to the course including whole-of-class tutorials covering the basicsand including small group clinical skillssessions.
Weeks  2 - 9	Students are allocated to specific hospital-based attachments and have individual learning timetables for the clinical component of the course.	On line lectures are available in Intellilearnand additional on line resources areavailable in eMedici and MyUni, includingaccess to on line formative assessments.A separate lecture timetable for Friday afternoon tutorials held in the RobinsonInstitute seminar room will be announced.
Week 9	Summative assessment week	Assessment of knowledge, reasoning and clinical skills will be undertaken from mid week onwards in week 9.

All students will be allocated to Lyell McEwin Hospital or the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in the metropolitan area.   Although allocated to one hospital all students should expect to travel to other hospitals (Modbury, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Royal Adelaide Hospital) and places for specialty sessions.  

All students require a current National Criminal History Record Check for children and vulnerable adults.  A Criminal History Check is valid for 3 years and students MUST have the original with them on the first day of term.

All students will be required to do some after-hours and weekend work (see above). Any other requirements will be advised.

Not applicable

Assessment Task	Assessment Type	Weighting	Learning outcome(s) being addressed
Clinical tasks requiring mastery to be completed by week 7	Summative and formative	20%	1 and 2
Clinical reasoning written examination week 9	Summative	30%	1
Multiple choice written examination week 9	Summative	25%	1
OSCE examination week 9	Summative	25%	2

“Clinical tasks requiring mastery” is a hurdle requirement, which must be completed satisfactorily in order to pass the course. Failure to complete all components will result in a Fail No Submission report to the MBBS Board of Examiners.

Formative Assessment
In addition to informal feedback in tutorials and clinical sessions, formative on-line MCQ’s and SCT’s are available in the “Assessment” section of the MyUni course, on the MBBS Script Concordance Test web site, and in the Intellilearn and eMedici modules.

Summative Assessment

The student’s final grade in this attachment is determined as follows:

Clinical tasks requiring mastery
Some clinical tasks are important but are not readily assessed in an OSCE. At the start of rotation students are given a list of tasks which must be completed in a satisfactory manner. Students are required to have their observed performance of the mandatory clinical tasks signed off by an appropriate assessor (a medical graduate or graduate midwife, dependent on the task).

ALL “clinical tasks requiring mastery” must be satisfactorily completed. Failure to satisfactorily complete all tasks will result in a Fail grade (Band E) for the course regardless of satisfactory completion of the other assessment tasks.

Written assessments
Written assessment is in Week 9.

An on line examination comprising single best answer Multiple Choice Questions will be held at the end of term.

All written assessments will be sat on-line.  

OSCE
The OSCE will be a 5-station examination usually to be held on the last day of term (Friday week 9).  Each question will be of 6 minutes duration plus 1 minute reading time. The OSCE stations cover a range of clinical skills including history taking, examination, requesting and interpretation of investigations, diagnosis, management, explanation and counselling. Questions may be in obstetrics, gynaecology and neonatology. Stations will be standardised by the use of surrogate patients and anatomical simulations, where applicable.

Assessment in Human Reproductive Health comprises:
1.    Clinical Portfolio 20% (week 7). This is a hurdle requirement = must pass to pass the course
2.    Clinical Reasoning Examination 30% (week 9)
3.    MCQ examination 25% (week 9)
4.    OSCE examination 25% (week 9).

Clinical Portfolio
A Clinical Portfolio is a record of your clinical experiences in HRH. There are three components to the Clinical Portfolio:

A case summary of a normal labour and normal or assisted vaginal delivery including management of the third stage of labour, that you have personally attended and been involved in. You are required to produce written evidence that you have undertaken this task, including delivery of the placenta.  

A case summary of your involvement in the postpartum care of a woman and her baby on the antenatal ward and/or on a domiciliary visit.

A Clinical Core Competencies Document (see below).

You are required to submit via MyUni no later than 5pm Friday of week 7 a fully completed written clinical portfolio in the required format as detailed in MyUni unless otherwise arranged with the course coordinator or their designated person.  It is recognized that completing all components by the due date may be difficult for some people.  It is your responsibility to request help before the due date.

An assessor (qualified doctor or midwife) who is able to attest that you have performed the task to a satisfactory standard must sign the clinical competency document:

Competency	Date	Print Name of Assessor	Signature of Assessor
Measurement of symphysial-fundal height in third trimester	Column cell	Column cell
Measurement of blood pressure in third trimester of pregnancy	Column cell	Column cell
Detection of the fetal heart using a portable Doppler device in the third trimester	Column cell	Column cell
Detection of fetal lie and presentation in third trimester	Column cell	Column cell
Location of the uterine cervix with a speculum *	Column cell	Column cell
Inspection of a Caesarean section wound	Column cell	Column cell
Examination of a well term neonate	Column cell	Column cell

One patient per student

NO “BUDDYING” OF CASES IS PERMITTED.

You are required to provide the patient’s initials, UR number and clinical location for each case. We will randomly check a sample of patients to confirm your participation was as stated in your portfolio. DO NOT plagiarise or copy the work of another person.



Clinical portfolios submitted late or incomplete without permission will receive 0 marks. The clinical portfolio is a hurdle requirement. A member of the academic staff will mark the clinical portfolio. It is necessary to pass the clinical portfolio in order to pass the course. For the purposes of grading, the percentage marks awarded for each component of the clinical portfolio appear in the table below:

	Marks available	How marked
Case summary of a normal labour	8%	The examiner will award between 0-8 marks for this component. A score of 5 is required to pass this component.
Case summary of your involvement in postpartum care	8%	The examiner will award between 0-8 marks for this component. A score of 5 is required to pass this component.
Clinical Core Competencies	4%	Satisfactory completion of all tasks = 4 marks, anything less = zero marks
	Total 20 %

Please note:

It is necessary to pass EACH of the three components in order to pass the clinical portfolioWe will undertake random checks to confirm that you have attended delivery suite and the postnatal wards as claimed.

Candidates who fail the clinical portfolio will receive an “E” band in the course.

Summative written assessments
Summative written assessment is held in week 9. The written assessment comprises a Clinical Reasoning Examination and a single best answer Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) examination. You will undertake these assessments on line and using the iPad that was provided to you at the start of the course. For security reasons, you will be required to hand in the loan iPad immediately on completion of the written examinations.


Clinical Reasoning Examination
The Clinical Reasoning Examination (CRE) comprises 10 common case scenarios in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. You will be required to answer for each scenario a single best answer question in script concordance test format, and then to type your justification for selection of that answer using the iPad’s virtual keyboard.

The CRE examination will contribute 30% to your final grade in HRH.  

An example of a CRE question including a marking template follows:

Scenario
A 38-year-old G3P2 woman presents for routine antenatal clinic review at 32 weeks gestation. She feels well but you record a blood pressure of 150/100 mmHg.

If you were thinking of:	And then you find:
Pre-eclampsia	Her booking BP at 9 weeks gestation was 120/70 mmHg

What effect has this new information on the status of your hypothesis or option?

• Strongly negative
• Slightly negative
• No effect
• Slightly positive
• Strongly positive

(1 mark)
In this option, the standard setting process may (generously) allow a borderline student to choose any of the options “No effect”; “Slightly positive” or “Strongly positive”. A borderline candidate would then be expected to score 1 mark for this question.

Justify your answer:(4 marks)

A complete answer may include all of the following:
A reasonable differential diagnosis (pre-eclampsia, pregnancy induced hypertension, white coat hypertension, measurement error) including that chronic essential hypertension though common in this age group.
The need to repeat BP after quiet resting before determining if it is truly elevated.
Additional information required in relation to risk factors that have not been provided in the scenario (new paternity, maternal obesity).
Need for additional investigations to confirm or refute primary hypothesis.
The examiners may determine that the borderline student would recognise that this is not essential (chronic) hypertension and that the BP would need to be repeated to confirm that the woman is truly hypertensive, and no more – and thus score 2 out of a possible 4 for this question.


Multiple Choice Examination  (MCQ)
The MCQ examination will comprise a mixture of “core” questions and some more difficult “extension” questions. Standard setting for the MCQ is based on a different version of the modified Angoff standard setting process.  In this version, examiners estimate for each question the probability of a borderline candidate answering the question correctly. The pass mark is the average of these estimates for the entire assessment. For example, if our examiners determined that a borderline student has a 60% chance of answering each question in the assessment correctly, the pass mark is 60%.

The MCQ examination will contribute 25% to your final grade in HRH.

OSCE
The OSCE will be a multi-station examination usually to be held on the last day of term (Friday week 9).  Each question will be of 5 minutes duration plus 1-minute  of reading time. The OSCE stations cover a range of clinical skills including history taking, examination, requesting and interpretation of investigations, diagnosis, management, explanation and counseling. Questions may be in obstetrics, gynaecology and neonatology. Stations will be standardised by the use of surrogate patients and anatomical simulations, where applicable.  

Each of the 5 stations will be scored out of 5 possible marks. Standard setting for the OSCE will follow the procedure described for the CRE.

The OSCE examination will contribute 25% to your final grade in HRH.  


Academic Honesty and Copyright
All examination questions are copyright and may include material owned by other organisations. Examination questions are not to be copied or reproduced in any manner, including by memorisation. This includes copying for private study, which is also expressly forbidden. Breach of this rule is a serious breach of professional behaviour, and will result in referral for investigation through the university disciplinary process - see Academic Dishonesty Policy –http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/230/.

Please also note that if you copy and sell our questions you will be treated most severely -  see Student Misconduct Rules
.

In addition, students will receive a banded result upon completion of their attachment.

Five bands are available to determine the assessment for the Human Reproductive Health rotation in fifth year of MBBS.  The Bands available for determining student performance are
A  Above expected competency for Year 5
B  Clearly at expected competency for Year 5
C  Just reaches expected competency for Year 5
D  Below expected competency for Year 5
E  Far below expected competency for Year 5

Calculation of GradesA candidate MUST pass the core competencies (mastery) by the end of the course or will fail with an E. Otherwise, the calculation of grades is as follows:

Written and practical examinations are held at the end of the year to assess competence in the MBBS Program. Included in these exams will be some Obstetrics & Gynaecology questions.  

If a replacement or additional assessment is required, this will normally take the form of a clinical viva assessment, which may include an observed long case and oral assessment covering both the long case and a range of other topics.

A student course evaluation is completed online by all students at the end of the rotation.  SELTS of individual teaching are done on a regular basis.

MBBS Incident Reporting
Students are to report incidents in the hospitals via the Clinical Education offices.  The staff in these offices can debrief students, and also provide students with the 最新糖心Vlog’s Incident Reporting form and the relevant Hospital form. See:


MBBS incidents will be flagged by the relevant School Health & Safety Officer and on the assignment of controls they will be compiled by the Faculty HSW Manager, and finally reported to the School of Medicine OHS Committee.
