Obstetrics (from the French coucher – lie on the back, e.g. to help during childbirth, in the English-speaking countries, obstetrics – from the Latin obstare – to stand beside) is the branch of human activity aimed at optimizing the basic biological function – reproduction of its own kinds.

Obstetrics is the field of study concentrated on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. As a medical specialty, obstetrics is combined with gynaecology under the discipline known as obstetrics and gynaecology (OB/GYN) which is a surgical field.

This field is divided into physiological, pathological and operative obstetrics.


Gynaecology or gynecology (see spelling differences) (the science about woman, from the grec. gyne – a woman and logos – science) is a medical discipline that studies the normal physiological activity of the female genital organs and the pathological processes that arise in them, as well as the prevention and treatment of these pathological processes.

Evidence-based medicine is an approach to medical practice intended to optimize decision-making by emphasizing the use of evidence from well-designed and well-conducted research. Although all medicine based on science has some degree of empirical support, EBM goes further, classifying evidence by its epistemological strength and requiring that only the strongest types (coming from meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials) can yield strong recommendations; weaker types (such as from case-control studies) can yield only weak recommendations. The term was originally used to describe an approach to teaching the practice of medicine and improving decisions by individual physicians about individual patients. Use of the term rapidly expanded to include a previously described approach that emphasized the use of evidence in the design of guidelines and policies that apply to groups of patients and populations ("evidence-based practice policies"). It has subsequently spread to describe an approach to decision-making that is used at virtually every level of health care as well as other fields (evidence-based practice).

The purpose of the training: the preparation of a qualified doctor - a specialist with a system of professional competencies, capable and ready for self-employment

Pharmacology can be defined as the study of substances that interact with living systems through chemical processes, especially by binding to regulatory molecules and activating or inhibiting normal body processes. These substances may be chemicals administered to achieve a beneficial therapeutic effect on some process within the patient or for their toxic effects on regulatory processes in parasites infecting the patient. Such deliberate therapeutic applications may be considered the proper role ofmedical pharmacology, which is often defined as the science of substances used to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease.Toxicology is that branch of pharmacology which deals with the undesirable effects of chemicals on living systems, from individual cells to complex ecosystems.

Gynecology or gynаecology is the branch of medicine dealing with the health of the female reproductive system (vagina, uterus and ovaries) and the breast. Literally, outside medicine, it means "the science of women". The word "gynecology" came from the Greek Γυναικ - woman and λογοζ – study. This science is anatomical, physiological, physical and mental characteristics of the female body and their disorders. Gynaecology is inextricably linked with obstetrics. Until the XIX century. these sciences were not divided - the doctrine of female diseases was part of the doctrine of obstetrics.
