AMC 2 Obstetrics & Gynaecology station practice

Example Obstetrics & Gynaecology stations in Vivora

• Pelvic pain in early pregnancy

  You are an ED resident. Aisha Rahman, 28, presents with left-sided lower abdominal pain and a little vaginal bleeding. Her urine pregnancy test is positive.

• Headache and swelling at 34 weeks

  You are the obstetric resident. Priya Sharma, 31, first pregnancy, 34 weeks, presents with a headache and swelling. Triage BP is 162/108 and urinalysis shows protein +++.

• Worsening pelvic pain and discharge

  You are an ED resident. Bianca Santos, 23, presents with three days of acute-onset lower pelvic pain.

  You are a GP. Steph Carter, 26, comes in about long-standing irregular periods, increasing unwanted hair growth and difficulty losing weight. She and her partner have started thinking about a baby.

What examiners focus on in Obstetrics & Gynaecology stations

• Sensitive, plain-language questions around menstrual, sexual and obstetric history
• Gestation-specific red flags such as bleeding, reduced fetal movements or pre-eclampsia symptoms
• Signposting why a sensitive question is being asked before asking it
• Awareness of consent and chaperone practice where relevant

Common mistakes IMGs make in Obstetrics & Gynaecology stations

• Rushing sensitive questions or reverting to jargon the "patient" would not use
• Forgetting gestation-specific red-flag screening in pregnancy-related stations
• Not mentioning a chaperone where the scenario calls for one

Why practise Obstetrics & Gynaecology out loud

Reading about a obstetrics & gynaecology presentation is not the same as running the station: taking a focused history, asking the examiner for findings, and giving a diagnosis and plan out loud, under time pressure. Vivora builds that fluency directly, so the real exam feels familiar rather than the first time you've said any of it aloud.
