Abstract

Background and Objectives: Competence and professionalism are two main aspects of an Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) specialist. A continuous learning process, introduction, development, and training are needed, both through classroom learning sessions and practice in real situations so that learning objectives can be achieved within the OBGYNs’ Doctor Education Collegium allotted time. Method: Literature research and observation of OBGYN residents learning activities in the professional development module with independent stage activities as a learning model were conducted. Result: The standard collegiate professionalism development module is prepared as a learning reference for assessing professional competence achievement. In this module learning activity, OBGYN residents carry out an independent stage in a regional education network hospital for 2 to 3 months with various activities, both in education and health services aspects. Learning objectives to achieve competence: 1) Communicating and Providing Counseling, 2) Teamwork and Leadership, 3) Administration and Service Management, 4) Negotiating and Motivating Others, 5) Carrying Out Clinical Training, and 6) Doing good medical practice and professional accountability. Conclusion and Recommendation: The independent activity stage of OBGYN residents increased professional competence achievement. The independent stage becomes a learning model for achieving the competency of the professional development module.
