Aims

Objectives: To cover the essential physiopathological, diagnostic and therapeutic elements of gynecologic disorders, as well as the physiological and pathological aspects of pregnancy and related conditions. The relative importance of the different chapters will be dictated by the incidence of the pathologies in question. For less commonly encountered conditions or systemic disorders arising during pregnancy, the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches will be discussed.
Optional objectives: Complementary course studies in gynecology and infertility, andrology, IVF, fetal medicine and gyneco-obstetric endocrinology.
