Topics and Structure

The topic selection and structure was based on the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO) Medical Student Educational Objectives, 11th Edition, 2019. It is self-described as defining “a central body of women’s health knowledge, skills and attitudes that are fundamental to the practice of a general physician, and are intended to provide clerkship directors, faculty and students with a resource for curriculum development, teaching and learning.”

Content

Much of the video content of these courses was produced by the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO), working with the University of Michigan, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and the Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, for use in women’s healthcare training. All are publicly available on YouTube. I produced other parts of the content, and the formatting of the coursework. My videos are all publicly available on Vimeo. Some additional videos were found on YouTube and are from other sources, among them Duke University, Tulane University, Baylor College of Medicine, University of Connecticut, Akola Endoscopy Centre, Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Travis McCoy, MD, Andrea Vidali, MD., and Sarawak General Hospital.
