In recent years, medical education in India has taken a new direction. The National MedicalCommission (NMC) has introduced a competency-based curriculum, aiming to create a newgeneration of Indian Medical Graduates (IMG) equipped with the practical skills and knowledgethey need to excel in their respective fields. In this evolving landscape of medical education,it is essential to have resources that align with this new pedagogical shift.While there is no shortage of textbooks for medical students, there is a notable gap whenit comes to resources that adopt a competency-based approach. Many existing texts, while comprehensive,often do not present the requisite competencies in a concise, easy-to-understandmanner.Furthermore, we have seen a growing trend where students, overwhelmed by the sheervolume of information in traditional textbooks, are turning to supplementary notes or booksauthored by individuals outside the realm of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. While these resourcesmay provide a brief overview, they can sometimes lack the depth and nuance required for arobust understanding of the subject.Recognizing these challenges, I endeavored to develop a solution: a single, comprehensivebook based on NMC-based competencies that presents the essentials of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.This book is my attempt to bridge the gap between extensive textbooks and the needfor concise, competency-based learning materials.My utmost efforts have been poured into this book, and it is my hope that it proves to bea valuable resource for medical students. The primary aim of "Dr. Lakshmikantha G Obstetricsand Gynaecology Essentials" is to offer students a crisp, yet thorough, walk-through of thesubject, enabling them to grasp and apply their knowledge competently within a reasonabletimeframe.I welcome you to embark on this journey of learning and discovery, and I hope that thisbook will illuminate your path. Here's to a rewarding and enlightening reading experience.Dr. Lakshmikantha G
