Open Door Day at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of ONMedU

On 12.12.2024 the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Odesa National Medical University under the leadership of Dr. Med. Sci., Professor Ihor Gladchuk opened its doors to future applicants.

✔️The group meeting began with an introductory speech by the 3rd year intern, Piven Vira, about the many years of history of the department and its outstanding scientists.
Many famous obstetrician-gynecologists of the Southern region are graduates of our department.

✔️The meeting took place at three locations:

1-auscultation of the fetal heartbeat;

2-external obstetric examination;

3- laparoscopic gynecology.

The head of the student scientific spciety (SSS) of the department, Candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor – Olena Stepanovichus demonstrated the method of auscultation of the fetus using an obstetric stethoscope on a phantom that simulates various variants of its heart rhythm.
When performing an external obstetric examination, the position of the fetus was determined, which aroused considerable interest among schoolchildren – “How does the position and presentation of the fetus affect the physiological course of labor?”.
During the demonstration of the biomechanism of labor, the majority of those present had a question: “What happens to the placenta and what are the features of the third stage of labor?”.

The head of the SSS of the department – Kirʼyakova Darʼya reported on operative laparoscopy. A laparoscopic simulator was also presented, with the help of which you can master the basic surgical skills of a surgeon, starting with the simplest – exercises for coordination of movements (moving parts with the help of instruments), and later even move on to suturing!
Everyone who wanted  successfully completed the exercise on coordination of movements, even the teachers were interested!

Then they answered the group’s questions and received words of gratitude.
