Abstract
Background: Medical students are required to develop knowledge and understanding that underpins the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal period. Time constraints and varied clinical opportunities may limit students' exposure to specific Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G) experiences. Developments in technology, including MR can allow educators to offer experiential learning opportunities for learners that closely mimic the real world (Nuzhat et al, 2014; Atiomo et al, 2024).
Summary of work: Session designed to allow second year medical students to follow the journey of a simulated pregnant patient. Service Improvement Project planned for one academic year, involving delivery of session 12 times over 3 separate placement blocks, measuring student achievement of learning objectives, knowledge and confidence, and gathering qualitative feedback.
Summary of results: 30 students have participated in the teaching session so far over 8 sessions. A further 16 students will participate in the next 4 sessions.
Confidence Likert Scale Measurement - Pre session 29% ofstudents reported ‘agree’ or ‘strongly agree’ for their confidence levels of knowledge and understanding in the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal periods, compared to 100% post session, suggesting a clear improvement in perceived confidence.
Knowledge Multiple-Choice Question (MCQ) – Pre session MCQ score of 80% reflected a good baseline understanding. Post session MCQ score of 88% demonstrated an improvement.
Qualitative feedback – in response to the question ‘What did you enjoy?’, a common theme noted amongst students was interactivity.
Conclusion: The O&G interactive teaching session enhanced medical students' knowledge and confidence and helped them achieve their learning outcomes. Additionally, students feedback comments were positive. So far there is support for continuing to deliver the session.
