Presentation

What makes this Expert unique?

This is the only University Expert Course in Maternal and Obstetric Pathology whose objective is to deepen in the most classical obstetrics and maternal medicine from a current point of view, focused on evidence-based medicine and on the patient, and with eminently practical keys for its transfer to the clinical practice of any specialist in Gynecology and Obstetrics.

This course will help the specialist in Gynecology and Obstetrics to act, in collaboration with other experts, with the aim of improving the health and well-being of the mother-fetus binomial during pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. He does so by diagnosing, advising and treating complications affecting both the mother and the fetus.

We will address topics that have a high demand for care such as obstetrics, maternal diseases intercurrent with gestation, placental insufficiency, maternal infections, management of severe maternal complications or perinatal mental medicine.

In addition, essential social aspects of current obstetric practice such as respectful obstetric practices, perinatal bereavement, ethical considerations and patient-physician communication will be discussed.

All content will be complemented with supporting material with the latest scientific evidence, guidelines and protocols.

To whom it is addressed

Professionals specialized in Gynecology and Obstetrics who wish to take a high-level refresher course to qualify them for their daily clinical practice.

Course details

Course structure, schedule and content

Online theoretical modules with evaluation

The teaching program of the University Expert Course in Maternal and Obstetric Pathology includes 6 theoretical modules that cover almost all maternal and obstetric pathology and offer advanced training through theoretical classes and the interactive platform. Each module allows online viewing of videos with the theoretical contents of the modules. These modules will have a determined duration and will be carried out sequentially. The theoretical evaluation will be done online, once the Masterclass session has been completed and all the doubts that the students may have have have been solved. The exam will be a multiple-choice test with questions that may include images and videos, with specific dates.

Masterclass

Masterclasses will be scheduled with the tutor of each module in Zoom format where students will be able to ask live online questions to the experts. They will be coordinated by a moderator who will facilitate their development. The session will be held before the end of the online exam period to resolve any doubts that students may have.

Resolution of clinical cases online

A forum will be created using the Moodle platform for each module. This will be supervised by the scientific coordinator of the course who will ensure its correct functioning. It will be made available to the students at the beginning of the module and will represent a space to share concerns and doubts in relation to the topics to be covered. Likewise, the module directors will present some clinical cases to the students to generate debate. Some of these sessions will consist of practical workshops such as pelvic floor repair, breech delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, etc.

Final review-research paper

Students must complete a final research paper that will be evaluated by the Academic Committee. The topic of the work will be proposed by each student. There are 2 modalities to choose on the topic of the final work:

  •  Systematic literature review of a current topic covered during the course.
  •  Original research in your own environment

Teaching methodology

The University Expert Course in Maternal and Obstetric Pathology consists of a theoretical-practical part and a practical-face-to-face part. The first one is done through the Virtual Campus of Fetal I+D Education Barcelona, and combines online theory with the resolution of clinical cases and Masterclass.

The practice-attendance is performed at the facilities of Medicina Fetal Quito. During it, Meet the Professor type classes, clinical cases, invasive techniques and simulations will be performed.

The course is conducted in small groups of a maximum of 25 students, allowing for greater student-teacher interaction.

The structure of the course is formed by a faculty of world experts in the field that constitutes the usual faculty of Medicina Fetal Barcelona and its Directors; Eduard Gratacós and Francesc Figueras, being a guarantee that this course will offer a solid and complex training through a rigorous and eminently practical academic program.

There will be two different evaluations that must be passed in order to obtain the certificate.

The theoretical evaluation is carried out online, once the Masterclass session has been completed and any doubts that the students may have have have been resolved.
