The Diagnostics in Gynaecology programme was organised by the Faculty of Medicine and offered an exciting, immersive experience designed to sharpen clinical diagnostic skills and bridge the gap between theory and practice. Students were guided through cutting-edge methods, real-world scenarios, and advanced tools that equipped them to excel in gynaecological diagnostics and care.
Virtual Kickoff: Laying the Foundation
The programme began online with an introduction to clinical diagnostic thinking, offering students a glimpse into the world of advanced medical problem-solving. Through interactive sessions, participants explored innovative learning techniques tailored to enhance clinical reasoning. This phase also featured a meet-and-greet session, helping students connect with peers and instructors while gaining familiarity with the online learning platform that would support their journey.
Immersive On-Site Learning: From Classroom to Clinic
Once on-site, the programme came to life through a blend of engaging lectures, problem-based learning (PBL), patient interactions, and cutting-edge simulator training:
- Interactive Lectures introduced foundational concepts with real-world examples and active discussions, encouraging students to connect theory with practice.
- Problem-Based Learning (PBL) put students in the driver’s seat, tackling real-world clinical challenges in collaborative teams to hone critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.
- Hands-On Patient Training provided an invaluable opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in real clinical settings. Guided by expert instructors, students conducted assessments, diagnosed conditions, and developed treatment plans, gaining practical skills and building confidence.
- Simulator Training in laparoscopic and ultrasound techniques offered a safe, cutting-edge environment for mastering these essential tools. Students practiced precision techniques, interpreted ultrasound images, and performed mock surgeries, ensuring they were well-prepared for future clinical applications.
This programme wasn’t just about learning—it was about doing. Participants left with not only a deeper understanding of diagnostic techniques but also the hands-on experience and confidence to tackle real-world challenges.
