 STUDY SKILLS

FOR UNDERGRADUATE MEDICAL AND DENTAL STUDENTS

Medical and dental school demands exceptional dedication and effective study
habits. Here are some effective study skills for undergraduate medical and dental
students that are vital for success.

1. Foundational Skills

Time Management: ▪ Create a Schedule: Allocate specific blocks for lectures, labs,
studying, and breaks.

▪ Prioritize: Identify high-yield topics and allocate more time to them.

▪ Pomodoro Technique: Study in focused bursts (e.g., 25 minutes) with short breaks.
▪ Utilize Eisenhower task management tool

7
Active Recall: ▪ Spaced Repetition: Review material at increasing intervals to
reinforce learning.

▪ Flashcards: Create and use flashcards to test yourself on key concepts and
definitions.

▪ Teaching: Explain concepts to others to solidify your understanding.

• Note-Taking: ▪ Active Listening: Focus on key points and write concise

summaries.

• ▪ Mind Maps: Visualize connections between concepts.

8
• Cornell Method: Divide notes into key ideas, notes, and summaries

2. Medical-Specific Strategies

9
Visual Learning: ▪ Diagrams: Create or use diagrams to understand complex
anatomical and physiological processes.

▪ Mind Maps: Connect concepts visually to aid in recall.

▪ Clinical Cases: Practice applying knowledge to real-life scenarios.

Mnemonics: ▪

10
▪ Acronyms: Create memorable acronyms to remember lists (e.g., "VINDICATEM" for
causes of fever).

▪ Rhymes: Use rhymes to recall facts or steps in procedures.

▪ Shared Learning: Discuss concepts with peers, identify weaknesses, and test each
other.

▪ Diverse Perspectives: Gain different insights and explanations.

Study Groups:

3. Self-Care and Well-being

Breaks and Relaxation: Schedule regular breaks to avoid burnout. Engage in hobbies
and activities you enjoy.

Exercise and Nutrition: Maintain a healthy lifestyle to improve focus and

concentration.

Sleep: Prioritize sufficient sleep to optimize cognitive function and memory

consolidation.

Mindfulness and Stress Management: Practice mindfulness techniques (e.g.,

meditation) to reduce stress and improve focus.

4. Additional Resources

Online Platforms: Utilize online resources

11
Medical Libraries: Access textbooks, journals, and databases for in-depth research.

Faculty Mentorship: Seek guidance and advice from faculty and senior students.

Remember, effective study habits are a continuous process of refinement.

Experiment with different techniques, identify what works best for you, and
adapt your approach as needed.

INRODUCTION/ RATIONALE

Reproductive system plays an important role in person life although it

Module Rationale does not

contribute to homeostasis and is not essential for survival of individual

for example, the manner in which people relate as sexual beings

contributes in significant ways to psychosocial behaviour and has an

important influence on how people view themselves and how they
interact with others.
Reproductive function also has a profound effect on society. The
universal organization of societies into family units provides a stable
environment that is conducive for perpetuating our species.
On the other hand, the population explosion and its resultant drain on
dwindling resources have recently let to worldwide concern with the
means by which reproduction can be limited.
Reproductive capabilities depend on intricate relationship among the
hypothalamus, anterior pituitary, reproductive organs and target cells
of sex hormones. In addition to these basic biologic processes, sexual
behavior and attitudes are deeply influenced by emotional factors and
sociocultural mores of the society in which individual lives. This
module is expected to build students basic knowledge about normal
structure, organization, functions and development of reproductive
system. This knowledge will serve as a fabric on which the students
will weave further knowledge about the etiology, pathology and
pathogenesis of diseases of reproductive system and principles of their
management

12
 LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the module the student should be able to:

KNOWLEDGE:

1. Identify & interpret the obstetrics and gynecology terms & use them appropriately

2. Describe the topography of the different parts of pelvis and perineum.

3. Describe the physiology of female and male reproductive system.

4. Describe the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of various hormones of the
female and male reproductive system along with their synthetic analogues. female and male
reproductive system
5. Describe the role of drugs used in puberty, pregnancy and contraceptives.
6. Emphasize on the importance of antenatal care.
7. Describe the indicators and the measures to control maternal mortality.
8. Describe health aspects & scope of family planning.
9. Describe the anatomy and physiology of breast during puberty,
pregnancy and lactation and pathology of breast abscess
1. SKILL: Demonstrate effective Skills of obstetrical/gynecological history taking.
2. Perform obstetrical examination on subject/ simulators.
3. Preform urine pregnancy test.
Perform Breast examination on subject/ simulators
