Newsletter #6 for January 2016

Thanks for registering with The Gray Haired OBGYN Professional site. This month, I have three new articles and videos for you:

- A Behind the Scenes tour of the "5 Minute Bartholin Cyst" video.

- A Training Module, "Wet Mount."

- An OSCE station entitled "Decreased Fetal Movement"

I'm enclosing previews of these so you can choose those that interest you and go directly to them.

Behind the Scenes: "5 Minute Bartholin Cyst" Video

This is a behind the scenes look at the 5-Minute Bartholin Cyst video.

I cover some technical issues I encountered during the project, and solutions that worked and those that didn’t.

Since this was one my first videos, I made plenty of mistakes, but I discuss those mistakes and how to avoid them.

Training Module: Wet Mount

In skilled hands, a wet mount of vaginal secretions is a rapid and reliable method of determining the cause of a vaginal discharge.

The technique is easy to teach in group settings, and easier if you have some training materials.

I provide you with those materials.

OSCE Station: "Decreased Fetal Movement"

This station requires the students to perform a brief prenatal exam at 32 weeks and discover there has been a significant decrease in fetal movement.

When they order a non-stress test, it is non-reactive, requiring them to react to this information.
