Resident training

How residents learn

  • Clinical training

    Residents manage patients on the labor ward, gynecology ward, antenatal and gynecology clinics and the emergency department under consultant supervision. Responsibility grows each year.

  • Surgical training

    Graded surgical exposure from cesarean section and evacuation to hysterectomy, myomectomy and laparoscopy, supported by simulation training on laparoscopic trainers.

  • Academic sessions

    Regular seminars and teaching sessions cover the core curriculum and national guidelines, with presentations prepared by residents and reviewed by faculty.

  • Research

    Every resident completes a research project, from proposal and ethical approval to data collection, analysis and presentation.

  • Case conferences

    Multidisciplinary discussion of challenging cases and maternal and perinatal outcomes, turning experience into learning for the whole team.

  • Journal clubs

    Residents critically appraise recent studies and discuss how the evidence applies to women in Ethiopia.
