Module 16: Early Pregnancy Care

This post in an outline of Module 16: Early Pregnancy Care. My aim is to give you an idea about how to organize and plan your study. 

For MRCOG part 2 once you have collected the required materials (soft/hard copy), then start your preparation module-wise. Make a timetable to cover a module in a pre-defined time. It makes sure that you do not miss any topic. There is an overlap of many modules for example clinical governance principles, and ethical and legal issues are applicable to all modules.

I can give a suggestion based on my personal experience

• Make a folder with the name “Early Pregnancy Care”
• First of all, read the details of the module on the RCOG website and get to know what are the topics you are expected to cover
• Collect the materials in that folder
• You may make subfolders for Ectopic Pregnancy and Miscarriage Management (as there are >1 documents to read)
• For each topic, you can make a ‘NOTE’ file which should be a summary of the points taken from all resources. (In case you prefer paper notes, write down the notes in a way which is easier to revise)
• In the second reading, you can only revise your own notes. Keep adding the points you come across from different sources
• The advantage of making your own notes is that ‘you can be sure that it is from authentic sources and it helps you to retain the information
• Once you cover a topic practice SBAs & EMQs from different sources to check your understanding.

The following table is an example to help you clarify more
