Fellowship in Obstetrics & Gynaecology (FIGO)
The Fellowship in Obstetrics & Gynaecology (FIGO) is a hybrid training program (2 months online + 5 days offline) designed to provide medical professionals with advanced expertise in managing obstetric and gynecological cases, including high-risk pregnancies, labor and delivery, neonatal care, infertility, gynecological cancers, and minimally invasive surgeries.
This comprehensive program combines flexible online learning with hands-on clinical training at The Medicity, Gurgaon, ensuring a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Led by renowned faculty from AIIMS and other top medical institutions, the course covers evidence-based practices, surgical techniques, and emergency obstetric care, preparing participants to deliver high-quality, patient-centered treatment.
Upon completion, participants will be equipped to:
- Manage normal and high-risk pregnancies (antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal care)
- Perform gynecological surgeries (cesarean sections, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, myomectomy)
- Diagnose and treat infertility (IUI, IVF, ovulation induction)
- Handle gynecological cancers (diagnosis, surgical management, and follow-up)
- Apply minimally invasive techniques in gynecological procedures
- Understand medico-legal aspects and risk management in OB-GYN practice
