Lack of exposure to male examination ▪ no opportunities to examine males during O&G module ▪ Male genital examination - > non-existent ▪ O&G was adequate for female genital exam preparations, however we have had no exposure to male examinations ▪ Have not had any structured teaching in male genital examination ▪ Haven’t really done any teaching/learning on males ▪ More or less non-existent teaching or experience on genital examination to date Opportunistic exposure only ▪ Some minimal incidental exposure in clinical practice ▪ Only have female experience due to [undertaking a] summer studentship ▪ Previous experience with female genital examination was observing during pap smear on two General Practice occasions ▪ Observed one or two in 4th year Limited or no exposure ▪ A topic that has not been addressed previously ▪ One lecture in Paeds, but I never got to see or do ▪ No previous learning ▪ Practice on model in 3rd year Have not done any, so most of this in non-existent ▪ We just had a dummy vagina in MED3 to learn speculum and bimanual exam. A total of 3 h max | Positive Experience with suggestions for minor change ▪ I enjoyed it! ▪ Very valuable. ▪ It is a good addition and should be continued ▪ Fantastic module ▪ Scary, but helpful ▪ Specific advice around technique adjustment was really useful! ▪ Invaluable learning opportunity. Very helpful tutors and empathetic actors. ▪ This was easily the best part of the Module. Very valuable. The pre-exam video for males is poor and should be replaced. ▪ Would be good to have a range of ages and subjects and more exposure More instruction/demonstration required prior to having to do examination ▪ It was good although I would’ve liked to be able to see the genital exam performed and explained before having to do it ourselves. ▪ A bit more formal instruction before exam would have helped. Quality of experience dependent on tutor ▪ Dr X was absolutely fantastic as a tutor ▪ Dr Y was rude to both me and the teaching associate. I felt this was inappropriate and unconstructive. |
