This module is ideally suited for an active learning curriculum in which students are accustomed to preparing ahead of time and working through questions and cases in the classroom. The advantages of this module are that less faculty preparation time is required, students are actively engaged in application of the material, and no traditional lecturing is required. Students are assessed using multiple-choices questions and their group interactions are assessed by their peers. This module can be scaled to any size group greater than a minimum of 10 since students form groups of five to seven for the exercise. We feel team-based learning enables students to be more active learners during the OB/GYN clerkship than what we previously used, which was a PowerPoint-driven didactic. We have worked hard during our 6-week clerkship to create a series of active learning sessions to “flip the classroom.” We hope this method will deliver material effectively and utilize the precious time we spend with students to work on clinical reasoning skills and the nuances of clinical care. This overall has been a rewarding experience for students, the facilitator and the content expert. Educational Objectives By the end of this team-based learning resource, participants will be able to: Define the following conditions: premature rupture of membranes, premature rupture of membranes, preterm labor, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, and HELLP (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, and Low Platelet count) syndrome.Describe how to assess, diagnose, and clinically treat each of the conditions listed above.Describe surgical complications, limitations, and characteristics unique to pregnancy.Describe the different infections pregnant women are screened for.Have a working knowledge of the transmission risks of the infections.Select appropriate prophylaxis and prevention interventions and treatments for each of the infections as applicable.Describe the risks that each of the infections poses to the neonate.Apply this to clinical scenarios.
