“…Additional educational objectives not explicitly covered in guidance from national professional bodies Some studies identified additional educational objectives, not covered in guidance from national professional bodies. These included teaching on intimate partner violence, 31 content for Muslim patients, 27 mental health education, 32 and training requirements in low-and middle-income countries. Key differences identified by our rapid review were requirements for students to be skillful enough to perform insertion of intrauterine contraceptive devices, repair episiotomies, and perform cervical biopsies, endometrial biopsies, and colposcopy.…”

Background: There have been challenges in deciding the curricular content in obstetrics and gynecology (Ob/Gyn) for medical students because the core knowledge, competencies, and duration of Ob/Gyn clerkships, varies widely by country.Objectives: To investigate current recommendations for Ob/Gyn curricula for medical students globally, in a rapid review of the literature and websites of a selection of medical schools. Search Strategy:A targeted search of selected databases (PubMed and Google Scholar) using relevant key words and a search of university websites.Selection Criteria: Studies that applied to medical or undergraduate students in Ob/Gyn. Data Collection and Analysis:A standardized extraction form on Microsoft excel to extract and chart data. Main Results:We identified recommendations from national professional bodies (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics, and the Turkish-National Core Curriculum), and descriptions from five university websites. We also identified additional objectives, including teaching on intimate partner violence, health priorities in low-and middle-income countries, and a variation in practical skills recommended.

“…In a recent call to action on the importance of cultivating mental health in obstetrics and gynecology, creators of the NCRP revealed the plan to develop a curriculum oriented toward obstetric trainees that will be modeled after the NCRP. 50 The consistent gaps in education on perinatal mental health across both psychiatric and obstetric training programs highlight that there may be untapped opportunities for collaborative learning across specialties. This could also foster open sharing of resources and help develop cooperative care networks and research infrastructure.…”

Perinatal mental health has garnered significant attention within obstetrics over the last couple of decades as the long- and short-term morbidities of untreated perinatal mental health disorders on both the mother and fetus/neonate have become increasingly apparent. There have been major strides in increasing screening for perinatal mental health disorders, clinician comfort with prescribing common psychiatric medications, and integrating mental health professionals into prenatal care via health services approaches such as the collaborative care model. Despite these advances, however, gaps still remain in the tools used for screening and diagnosis, obstetric clinician training in diagnosis and management of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, as well as patient access to mental health care during pregnancy and especially postpartum. Herein we review the state of perinatal mental health from the perspective of the obstetric provider and identify areas of ongoing innovation.

“…The authors recognize further work needs to be done to enhance education during obstetrics and gynecology residency programs for the future generation of providers. 83 This work is also likely needed for advanced practice providers, family medicine residents, psychiatry residents, psychology interns, and social work trainees. For current practicing providers, there are several avenues to improve current knowledge around perinatal mental health.…”

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are common, yet obstetricians receive little training prior to independent practice on screening, assessing, diagnosing, and treating patients with depression and anxiety. Untreated PMADs lead to adverse pregnancy and fetal outcomes. Obstetricians are in a unique position to address PMADs. The following serves as a resource for addressing PMADs in obstetric practice.
