Training the next generation of obstetricians and gynaecologists requires the provision of a strong foundation in the
understanding of the basic science that underpins clinical
practice. The MRCOG Part 1 examination has evolved to
assess active participation of trainees in acquiring this fundamental scientic knowledge. The updated 2019 MRCOG
syllabus and core curriculum acts as a Scientic Platform
for Clinical Practice, examining 15 core knowledge areas
in four domains of understanding: Cell Function, Human
Structure, Measurement and Manipulation and Understating Illness. Assessment has also been reformed to the format
of single best answer (SBA) questions.
This new edition has been updated with these adaptations to the MRCOG Part 1 examination in mind. We have
brought in new editors and several new authors to update
chapters. We have introduced a new chapter with selfassessment questions and answers, to reect the revised
examination format. We include 11 SBA questions per
book chapter (17 for the anatomy chapter), and three mock
exam papers. Included in this edition is a digital format to
the book, to provide more exibility in learning technique.
We are grateful to the previous authors whose work formed
the foundation of the current edition.
We hope that this text will continue to help future obstetricians and gynaecologists by providing a solid foundation
in the science that underpins the desired high quality clinical practice.
