The core curriculum for Gynecology and Obstetrics is covered by Problem Based Learning (PBL), Case Management Conferences, and interactive lectures. For the PBLs and case conferences, clinical situations have been chosen to stimulate discussion about the important factors that surround each case and to promote synthesis of the information, decision-making, and problem solving. The students are expected to investigate clinical problems ahead of time for the PBL so that they will be ready to participate. There are some topics for which you will be responsible and that have to do with self-study methods (seen further on in the study plan). The clinical practice will be carried out in the Internship Center (Centro de Prácticas), Fundación Santa fe de Bogotá, and Hospital de Suba.

This course brings the tenth semester medical student into contact with the most frequent ethical dilemmas in modern medical practice. This will combine reading on different topics, with their discussion in class, and the analysis and presentation of concrete clinical cases. Students will also be given direct experience by attending ethics committees at the Hospital Universitario de la Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá, to see how cases are analyzed and discussed, and a chance to attend the program for bioethical topics at meetings organized by the committee. Students’ participation in all the activities must be very active, promoting different points of view to grow in tolerance for opposing ideas and to learn how to discuss issues with respect. The basic idea is for the student to understand and experience the role of the basic principles of bioethics in modern medical practice.

This will allow students to explore the different aspects of and barriers to interviewing each age group. The student will also develop basic concepts, attitudes, and communication skills for managing terminal patients and their context. The medical student will then learn the basic elements to keep in mind for properly orienting patients and their families (and/or companions) during diagnosis, therapy, education, and follow-up. They will also learn knowledge and skills for group education activities related to prevention and health promotion.
