OBGYN Skills Lab

I designed the OBGYN-101 Skills Lab to strengthen your understanding of many basic procedures, prepare you for performing those procedures, and provide some insights that you can later review when you are not actually engaged in doing the procedures.

Even the best on-screen training can’t substitute for in-person, hands-on training under supervision, but I hope that by reviewing these videos, you’ll be better prepared for your clinical experience.

Of course, there are usually many good ways to perform any particular procedure, and I’m generally just showing you one of them. I expect your professors will show you some additional techniques, and some of them will seem easier for you or better for the patient. That’s fine. Part of the Art of Medicine is the knowledge of different ways of doing things, and what works best in your hands.

The videos are a mix of mpeg and wmv files that were designed to play on an IBM-compatible computer. I’ve tested them with my MacBook OSX, and they seem to work fine on that system, too, after downloading a free Windows Media Player for OSX from Microsoft.

If you are looking for more multimedia material in obstetrics and gynecology, I’d recommend my medical education website at The Brookside Associates Medical Education Division.

For more in-depth exploration of the latest information in these topics, I’d recommend The Global Library of Women’s Medicine.
