Abstract

Objective: Medical disorders in pregnancy are increasing. This highlights the need for Obstetrics trainees to develop a strong foundation in managing medical conditions in pregnancy.

Methods: To address this, the Internal Medicine curriculum at our institution was redesigned for first year Obstetrics residents to include an Obstetric Medicine (OBM) rotation.

Results: Before implementation, only 19% of residents felt at least moderately comfortable with OBM topics outlined by the Canadian Consensus for a Curriculum in Obstetric Medicine (CanCOM). This increased to 66% following introduction of the redesigned curriculum. Using Quality Improvement (QI) methodology, we aimed to increase this to 80% via iterative Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles. Post-intervention, 81% of trainees reported feeling at least moderately comfortable in 14 of 17 CanCOM topics.

Conclusion: This QI-driven curriculum enhancement was well received and further highlights the value of early OBM integration in Obstetrics training.

妇产科培训生产科医学课程评价：质量改进研究。

目的：妊娠期医学障碍日益增多。这突出表明，产科培训生需要在管理妊娠医疗条件方面打下坚实的基础。方法：为了解决这个问题，我们机构重新设计了第一年产科住院医师的内科课程，包括产科医学（OBM）轮转。结果：在实施之前，只有19%的居民对加拿大产科医学课程共识（CanCOM）概述的产科医学主题感到至少适度舒适。引入重新设计的课程后，这一比例增加到66%。使用质量改进（QI）方法，我们的目标是通过迭代的计划-执行-研究-行动循环将这一比例提高到80%。干预后，81%的受训者报告在17个CanCOM主题中的14个中至少感到适度舒适。结论：以qi为导向的课程改进效果良好，进一步凸显了早期产科医学整合在产科培训中的价值。
