Default Pregancy...am I missing something?

SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
No this thread isn't about getting pregnant in med school/residency...

Does anyone else feel like this topic isn't very well covered in med school curriculum? As far as I can tell, it doesn't have its own section in First Aid, and I don't think we devoted much time to it in any of our courses. Obviously we touched on it in Embryo, Reproductive Phys/Path and we learn the teratogens in Pharm. It just seems like there should be a section covering fertilization then all the physiologic processes that occur afterwards. Am I missing something? Did I black out for a week in first year?

Have you noticed all the other things that aren't covered? Derm, radiology, anesthesiology, rad/onc, ortho, CT surg, plastics, vascular surg, etc etc etc...you'll have to wait until rotations for most of these and even then a lot of it is learning on your own (esp as a med student)

Uh wrong.

It has to do with the sound of the letter that follows the article. If it is a 'vowel' sound, use an. If it is a consonant sound, use a.

An hour
An n

Not an one-size-fits-all rule.

We just finished our block with repro and endo stuff and it wasn't covered as much as I though there would be. We had a lecture on physiological changes in the newborn, a lecture on breastfeeding, and a clinical aspects of gestation thing that was online/a recording from the lecture the previous year (I guess the MD that gave it last year couldn't come back or something). I was surprised we didn't have a lecture on parturition at all; it was really only mentioned in passing.

fetus cannot live without mom

fetus bores its placenta into mom's vascular supply, stealing her blood and her oxygen

fetus dies if mom's immune system identifies it as foriegn, as it is actively invading her visceral organs

You've covered all you need to know about the pathophys of pregnancy in Microbiology... Parasites

In my embryo and cell biology courses we did cover fertilization and the physio that results in a fetus. That being said, I don't recall it being relavant for Step 1
