An online educational resource to assist doctors specialising in obstetrics and gynaecology, www.StratOG.net, has been relaunched this week featuring over 90 online tutorials, lectures and assessments.
Developed by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), the new StratOG.net website offers trainees and consultants resources they can access anywhere in the world. The site will be continually updated by RCOG Fellows, Members and clinicians with specialist knowledge.
With the introduction of the European Working Time Regulation (EWTR) O&G trainees and consultants are now more than ever facing multiple demands on their time and need flexible options for their training and development.
Online resources have been expanded to include information from the previous StratOG.net website and information from the RCOG website.
The site now includes 95 online tutorials to help trainees gain the knowledge required for core training and the MRCOG examinations, teaching resources for trainers to use in their teaching sessions, online lectures for those unable to attend RCOG conferences and courses and workplace videos demonstrating best practice in speciality training.
In addition, advanced training resources are available to support the Advanced Training Skills Modules (ATSM). This currently consists of the Abortion care eLectures designed to provide easily accessible, lectures for trainees and healthcare professionals and more content will be added over time.
Those registered on the RCOG's Continuing Professional Development Programme (CPD) can claim credits for viewing the online lectures.
The new website has been merged with the RCOG's website to create easier access and requires only one login.
Wendy Reid, Vice President for Education at the RCOG, said:
"This new website is an excellent way for doctors to train in their own time. The European Working Time Directive has meant there is less time for learning and teaching. Having easy access to such a wide range of resources including online tutorials and assessments will help doctors in the speciality develop further."
