Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology: 2025

Following the success of Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology, we’re proud to present a new volume of this collection.

The education and training of obstetrics and gynecology professionals are pivotal for ensuring effective patient care and responding to global health challenges. As we advance into a more interconnected world, the need for education systems that are both inclusive and innovative has never been more critical. These systems must not only equip healthcare professionals with current medical knowledge and techniques but also foster necessary soft skills such as self-reflection and interpersonal communication, which are essential for a resilient healthcare workforce.

This Research Topic aims to present a comprehensive exploration of the educational strategies employed in the training of obstetrics and gynecology professionals, stretching from undergraduate levels through continuing professional development, and including doctors, nurses, and midwives. The goal is to evaluate and enhance current educational frameworks, incorporating advanced teaching tools and methodologies to better prepare healthcare providers for the extensive demands of the field.

To gather further insights into this critical area, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

 • Undergraduate and postgraduate training programs
 • Methods and impacts of continuous professional education
 • Evaluation of curriculum, accreditation processes, and educational outcomes
 • Innovative educational technologies, including virtual reality and simulation
 • Education on patient and community engagement for broader societal health benefits
 • Interdisciplinary educational approaches that enhance training effectiveness
 • Digital education trends and their impact on training
 • Research on the effectiveness of educational strategies in obstetrics and gynecology
 • Collaborative and inter-professional education models
