We are pleased to offer a new 9th edition of the APGO Medical Student Educational Objectives. The Objectives are revisited on a regular basis to ensure their relevance, importance and usefulness in assisting with the development of obstetrics and gynecology clinical clerkship curricula.

An Ob-Gyn Student Logbook has also been developed as an example of how to incorporate the APGO Medical Student Educational Objectives into a logbook/tracking system. The logbook utilizes the core 17 objectives as outlined in the APGO Medical Student Educational Objectives 9th Edition as a framework for the various patient-care activities that a clerkship director may require of their students on the ob-gyn clerkship.

The 9th Edition of the Medical Student Educational Objectives is available to order in the APGO bookstore. A two-page summary of the content and chapters can be reached at this link.
