Essentials in Obstetrics and Gynaecology As per Competency Based Medical Education (CBME) Guidelines Curriculum for the Indian Medical Graduate National Medical Commission (NMC)  (Paperback, Lakshmikantha G)

In recent years, medical education in India has taken a new direction. The National Medical Commission (NMC) has introduced a competency-based curriculum, aiming to create a new generation of Indian Medical Graduates (IMG) equipped with the practical skills and knowledge they need to excel in their respective fields. In this evolving landscape of medical education, it is essential to have resources that align with this new pedagogical shift. While there is no shortage of textbooks for medical students, there is a notable gap when it comes to resources that adopt a competency-based approach. Many existing texts, while comprehensive, often do not present the requisite competencies in a concise, easy-to-understand manner. Furthermore, we have seen a growing trend where students, overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information in traditional textbooks, are turning to supplementary notes or books authored by individuals outside the realm of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. While these resources may provide a brief overview, they can sometimes lack the depth and nuance required for a robust understanding of the subject. Recognizing these challenges, I endeavored to develop a solution: a single, comprehensive book based on NMC-based competencies that presents the essentials of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. This book is my attempt to bridge the gap between extensive textbooks and the need for concise, competency-based learning materials. My utmost efforts have been poured into this book, and it is my hope that it proves to be a valuable resource for medical students. The primary aim of "Dr. Lakshmikantha G Obstetrics and Gynaecology Essentials" is to offer students a crisp, yet thorough, walk-through of the subject, enabling them to grasp and apply their knowledge competently within a reasonable timeframe. I welcome you to embark on this journey of learning and discovery, and I hope that this book will illuminate your path. Here's to a rewarding and enlightening reading experience. Dr. Lakshmikantha G
