RCOG Release: RCOG Pilots Its ATSM At The Corniche Hospital, UK

The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) has selected Corniche Hospital in Abu Dhabi, the UAE as the first site outside the UK to be accredited to provide training in the RCOG's Advanced Training Skills Module (ATSM) in Maternal Medicine.


As part of its commitment to improving clinical and educational standards in the UK and internationally, this programme supports postgraduate medical training overseas. It will be run to the same high standards as in the UK and enables doctors from the region to travel closer to home, instead of to the UK, for training.


Dr Maggie Blott, former Vice President (Education) of the RCOG said "The RCOG is committed to improving the care for women and their babies. The provision of RCOG recognised training in units outside of the UK, delivered to the same standards as in the UK, will undoubtedly enhance clinical care and improve outcomes.


"The RCOG is delighted that the Corniche hospital has been approved to provide this training, which will improve care for women in the UAE. The next step is to extend the provision of this training to other units worldwide."


Dr Mariyam Noushad has been selected to be the first trainee under this program. Dr Noushad said, "As the first trainee for the ATSM in maternal medicine outside the UK, I am honoured by this special opportunity. It is an important step in my career path. I believe that the skills acquired during this program will help me to enhance my medical and clinical expertise."



Notes


UK doctors undergoing postgraduate medical training in O&G in the UK must complete a minimum of two ATSMs in order to obtain the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in obstetrics and gynaecology. For more information about the training curriculum and ATSMs, click here.
