Outcome 3.3.18: Further develop clinical reasoning skills in Problem Based Learning practical sessions through the integration of information from lectures, Laboratory-based practical sessions and clinical skills tutorials, and consideration of population health and social aspects of endocrine and reproductive system disorders.

Outcome 3.3.19: Obtain a history from patients needing care during pregnancy or childbirth, or whose presenting complaint(s) suggest(s) a disorder of the endocrine and/or reproductive systems, to elucidate the progress of pregnancy or childbirth or the cause of the illness and its impact on well-being, and define the biological, social and psychological context of management;; demonstrate system specific physical signs and interpret them in physiological and pathological terms;; integrate clinical pathology, clinical physiology and imaging investigations with history and physical signs.
