Reproductive System

The unit aims to enable students to make progress towards meeting some of the learning outcomes described in Tomorrow's Doctors (2018) relevant to 'The Doctor as a Scholar and Scientist' and 'The Doctor as a Professional'. The specific aims of this fourth term unit are that students should understand the processes of human reproduction from the production of gametes to the establishment of independent life of the neonate. Students should understand common problems and disorders of the male and female reproductive systems, mechanisms of contraception and the sexual transmission of diseases.
