Objectives

In addition to building upon material learned in MFl and MF2, MF3 will serve as an introduction to new topics and concepts. The "subunits" of MF3 are organized in three blocks of four weeks (GI & Nutrition, Endocrinology and Reproduction). Other longitudinal core curricula including anatomy have important components covered in MF3 as well. New clinical skills will be introduced and students will also review, practise and perfect skills learned in MF1 and MF2. Special sessions have been organized to introduce the students to gynecology/obstetrics specific clinical skills.
