Didactic Sessions

The learning objectives for these sessions are as follows:

Early-Pregnancy Bleeding (Case Session)
After this session, when seeing a patient with vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy, BUCASM students will be able to:
▪Create a prioritized differential diagnosis
▪Obtain a focused and differential-driven HPI and ROS
▪Obtain a history (reproductive, medical, surgical, social) that identifies risk factors for early pregnancy complications
▪Provide accurate patient education on the differences between threatened abortion and the types of spontaneous abortion
▪Create a plan for the diagnostic workup and management of the three major subtypes of abnormal early pregnancy: ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortion, and molar pregnancy

Late-Pregnancy Bleeding (Case Session)
By the end of this session, when seeing a patient with vaginal bleeding in mid- to late pregnancy or postpartum, BUCASM students will be able to:
▪Create a prioritized differential diagnosis
▪Obtain a focused and differential-driven HPI and ROS
▪Obtain a history (reproductive, medical, surgical, social) that identifies risk factors for placental abnormalities and postpartum hemorrhage
▪Provide accurate patient education on the pathophysiology, parental, and fetal complications of placental abnormalities
▪Formulate a plan for the diagnostic workup and management of bleeding in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters
▪Formulate a plan for the evaluation and management of postpartum hemorrhage

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (Case Session)
After this session, when seeing a patient with abnormal uterine bleeding, BUCASM students will be able to:
•Correlate endocrine physiology to the phases of the normal menstrual cycle
•Obtain a complete menstrual history and identify abnormal bleeding profiles
•Obtain a differential-driven HPI and ROS using the ACOG diagnostic framework for AUB
14
•Formulate a plan for the diagnostic workup of AUB
•Create a patient-specific plan for medical and/or surgical management of AUB
•Coordinate the key components of pre-operative care for GYN surgery

Preterm Labor (Case Session)
By the end of this session, when seeing a preterm patient with abdominal pain, BUCASM students will be able to:
▪Create a prioritized differential diagnosis
▪Obtain a focused and differential-driven HPI and ROS
▪Obtain a history (reproductive, medical, surgical, social) that identifies risk factors for preterm labor and preterm birth
▪Create a comprehensive evaluation and management plan for preterm labor
▪Create a comprehensive evaluation and management plan for PPROM
