The workplace - Obstetrics and Gynaecology Specialty Training Program

O&Gs generally are referred patients from general practitioners. Their practice may take place in a number of different settings. These include the outpatient clinic, inpatient wards, operating theatre and delivery suite. Some O&Gs choose to subspecialise (approximately 14%) , and this will influence the location in which they work. A large proportion of the patients encountered are healthy young women (and newborns), mostly during a happy time of their lives, however O&Gs see women at all stages of their reproductive lives. O&Gs perform a number of procedures both in the operating theatre (e.g hysterectomy, laparoscopy, caesarean section) and in other settings (IUD insertion, colposcopy and forceps/vacuum deliveries).
