1.0 COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is to study the clinical disorder caused by abnormal changes in structure, function and bone biochemistry, muscle, joints and skin. Clinical disorders that will be discussed are including rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriasis, osteoarthritis, osteomyelitis, and tumours, etc. These discussions will cover organ / tissue that involved aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, laboratory investigation, and treatment. The prevention of clinical disorder will also be discussed.
2.0 COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The program is expected to ensure the students be able to:
- understand and appreciate the clinical disorders resulting from abnormal changes in the structure, function, and biochemistry of the muscles, skin, bones and joints.
- understand the importance of clinical disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriasis , osteoarthritis, tumours, etc.
- study and understand the organs and tissues involved as well as the relevant pathogenesis, laboratory investigations, and treatment.
- study and understand the prevention of clinical disorders.
3.0 LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the end of the course students will be able to:
- understand the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, morphology, diagnosis and guideline of management.
- contribute to medical expertise in different settings, both rural and urban to meet the needs of community.
- contribute to research, scientific writing and publishing and development of ideas and technology that will be adopted globally.

OGSP MM50310 is a module prepared for UMS final year undergraduates medical students to provide them with adequate clinical exposure, understand more basic physiology in obstetrics and gynaecology disorder as well as improve their communication skill towards patients and and medical communities. In this nine week rotation, they will be guided through lectures that emphasizes diseases and its management, bed side teaching in the hospital, ward rounds and ward work in the hospital such as observing or assisting in normal delivery, observing and assisting in delivery of placenta and repair of perineum. They also will be exposed to common ward procedures such as blood taking, CTG application and interpretation, induction of labour ,management of normal and abnormal labour and basic observation in postnatal ward. In the clinic they will learn and observe outpatient cases and also will learn cases for hysteroscopy and colposcopy.
At the end of this posting, they will be assessed via completion of log book and viva, theory papers such as One Best Answer (OBA), Modified Essay Question (MEQ) and Long Essay Questions (LEQ). To assess their history and physical examination skills, a clinical exam with real patient will be held and an OSCE will also be provided.
By the end of this course participants should be able to :
1. Describe adequate basic science and clinical knowledge in common obstetrics and gynaecological condition.
2. perform standard clinical skills of history taking, physical examination and procedures in common obstetric and gynaecological conditions
3. Propose diagnosis and management plan for patients with common obstetrics condition
4. Communicate effectively with colleaguse, patients, relatives and hospital staff
5. Demonstrate professionalism and ethics while approaching patients and families
LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES:
At the end of the rotation, students should be able to :
1. Take a thorough obstetrics and gynaecological history, perform a proper physical examination and be able to formulate diagnosis and differential diagnosis
2. Formulate management plan and keep accurate clear records
3. Able to interprete common and basic investigations results and able to suggest related management plan
4. Understand guideline and hospital protocol
5. Understand appropriate referral pathway
6. Recognize and differentiate between elective and emergency cases
7. Know the common procedures in obstetrics and gynaecology

This course is a continuation of the physiology component of NN10103 (Anatomy and Physiology) taken in the first semester. This semester, emphasis is on human pathophysiology, including aetiology, prognosis, medical treatment, signs and symptoms of common diseases of all body systems.
This course will provide technical knowledge on the interlinked and intensifying problems of climate change, ecosystem services degradation, and the need to double food production to sustain a growing global population. It describes the dominant influence of food production on ecosystems and the associated risk of ecosystems reaching tipping points beyond which they lose the ability to provide people with food and other vital services. It then offers two approaches to help conserve ecosystem services in a changing climate - a tool for integrating climate change and ecosystem service risks into decision making and a framework for reconciling food production and conservation goals. The course focus on how to meet food security and conservation goals for us to move from managing ecosystems for food at the expense of other ecosystem services to managing ecosystems for food plus other nature-based services.
