APGO Basic Sciences - Topic 14: Hypertensive Disease in Pregnancy

In July 2017, APGO competitively awarded two educational grants of $50,000 each to APGO member institutions to develop a series of short videos and teaching scripts covering basic sciences topics to vertically integrate into the obstetrics and gynecology clerkship. Each project team developed 15 videos with a companion teaching script for each video. The videos and scripts premiered in November 2018. These 30 videos and scripts provide a nice resource for basic sciences teaching as medical schools transition to earlier introduction to clinical training and competency-based curricula. Basic sciences remain critical to clinical medicine and should be taught across the entire medical education experience. Vertical integration between the basic sciences and clinical medicine during the Ob-Gyn clerkship will stimulate deeper learning and solidify students’ understanding of fundamental principles. Intended Audience with Intended Learning Objectives: Medical students can use the videos to deepen their understanding of the basic science topics necessary to enrich a firm foundation for general clinical medicine practice as well as for obstetrics, gynecology and women’s health. The teaching scripts will assist faculty, residents and community-based educators in determining the most appropriate approach for teaching basic science topics in a clinical environment.
