Undergraduate obstetrics and gynaecology has given rise to concern at a time when the community has become increasingly sensitive about genital structure and function and human reproduction. A survey of clinical schools in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland shows that an average of 11 weeks is available for undergraduate learning in the discipline. Nearly all schools provide written aims and objectives for clinical students. Pelvic examination is taught in what is concluded to be a sensible and responsible manner; students are expected to conduct an average minimum of eight deliveries. Family planning instruction is seen as generally inadequate. Comparison of clinical courses with those in Australia and New Zealand shows striking similarities. Undergraduate courses need to be under constant review and revision so that the best students are encouraged to see obstetrics and gynaecology as a desirable career path.
在社会对生殖器官结构与功能以及人类生殖问题愈发敏感的当下，本科阶段的妇产科学引发了人们的关注。一项针对英国和爱尔兰共和国临床医学院的调查显示，该学科的本科学习平均时长为11周。几乎所有院校都为临床专业学生制定了书面的目标和宗旨。盆腔检查的教学方式被认为是合理且负责的；学生平均至少要参与8次分娩接生。计划生育指导总体上被认为不够充分。将这些临床课程与澳大利亚和新西兰的课程相比较，会发现惊人的相似之处。本科课程需要持续接受审查与修订，从而鼓励最优秀的学生将妇产科学视为理想的职业道路。
