More information
Gynaecologists are highly trained medical doctors who specialise in the treatment of women and complications of the female reproductive system. They help their patients manage a range of reproductive health concerns including infertility, menopause, period pain, pelvic floor issues, miscarriage, cancer of the uterus and ovaries, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
As a Gynaecologist you could be having an initial consultation with a new patient, carrying out a physical examination of a patient who has had a miscarriage, prescribing treatment for a young woman with period problems, ordering diagnostic tests for a woman with an unusual reading after a pap-smear, or attending a conference for Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
Being a Gynaecologist is a demanding career path. To succeed you’ll need a high standard of academic performance, a lifelong commitment to using the latest technologies in reproductive health, and outstanding communication skills.
