Module 9: Maternal Medicine

Maternal medicine rcog module cardiac disease in pregnancy

This blogpost is the outline of Module 9: Maternal Medicine. It is one of the most important and lengthy module. There is an extensive list of topics to cover and a lot of facts to memorize. To make it simple, this module can be outlined according to the Systems e.g. Neurology, Endocrinology etc
  • The first step is to have a look in to details of core module on the RCOG website which provides a mental road map to cover it under appropriate headings
  • One of a very important and standard resource for this module is “Handbook of Obstetrics Medicine” by Catherine Nelson Piercy. The module is well covered in this book. It is recommended to at least go through the differential diagnosis tables given at the end of the book
  • Remember that management of patient starts from pre-conception period and it is important to make sure that she enters pregnancy in optimal health condition
  • Most of the Medical Disorders are chronic conditions and a woman may have to live with it for the rest of her life, which can be frustrating 
  • There is need of Multidisciplinary Team and involvement of Specialists
  • As the pregnancy may become high risk, so patient needs Close Monitoring, Extra Antenatal Visits and Consultant-led Care
  • Once she delivers, there should be appropriate postpartum care, contraception plan and advice regarding next pregnancy
  • The following tables may be used to organise the study material in one place
  • A BIG folder “Maternal Medicine” and Subfolders based on table might be helpful
  • Extract the information and make your own notes which is the single most important factor for targeted revision
  • Keep practicing SBAs/ EMQs from different resources and if you come across any new point, add it in your notes
  • It is a little effort from my end based on my own experience just to provide an idea and help to simplify this module. It is advised to modify it according to your suitability as I might have missed a few topics
  • Please go through the other obstetrics modules posts also as some topics are covered in those. The links are provided at the end of this post

Kindly let me know if it was helpful and suggestions to improve future posts are welcome

 Thanks
