Year 2 – Semester 3 – Block 6 – Reproductive and Endocrine Systems – Gynecology and Obstetrics

I felt Dr. Brayboy did an amazing job with this lecture. I greatly appreciate her clear explanation.

Great topics, helps with learning and retention! Highly recommended the ON videos!

The concepts are not explained in detail. The ideas are not logically connected. The lectures are very expositional, mainly listing diseases and etiologies with very crude explanations. Altogether the resource is not useful for either learning the concepts for the first time or reviewing them once already learnt.

Inclusion of the "gender identity" update was unscientific and does not belong in a medical lecture.

really good doctor and timing is good like it very much and i understand the lecture

I REALLY LIKE YOUR VIDOES I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

Concise lectures Highlight important key points Easy to understand The section on procedures is excellent could be more elaborate d

love to have all causes to be in the same lecture atrophic vaginitis too , inofrmatiove , however searching for the clinical presentation features as well

Just reading the slides. Poor lecturing ability had to study this from another source. And lecturer is constantly mentioning whether the topic is on usmle or not.

Merely reading the slides in a bizarre tone. Just not good at all. And also it seems like that her goal is to make us pass the exams but not preparing the medical students to become a physician. Always bringing the topic about exams. uhh

In my medical school I didn't like This class because I just like surgery but, the doctor explain in detail all you need to know about it. Thanks so much for this class.

Not happy with presentation Not mentioned key word and information for answering Essential topic missed

boring voice,language, topic, not clinical, produce headache, not necessary topic

Concise and Clear first introduction to menstrual disorders, presentation, definitions, guidelines and salient information for management,

I like this course because of many things , the way of learning is very effective ,and the spaced repetition is helpful for me to remember

It is very useful although the explanations can be more in-depth.

Short videos are good but needed little.bit more explanation for understanding concepts ,it's like saying various terms and related things but it does not clear concepts

short, detailed , and explainary most medical videos are usully long

Great explanation of concepts and relevant case studies. Great prep for USMLE

Thoroughly explained what is essential for test takers like me

I like this material Professor was very nice Good lectures

Very nice professor Nice material So benefits substitute and easy to gain

Because I like the way the teacher teaches. Her way teaching makes me want to learn more. Thank to the teacher.

Finally I am able to understand these confusing test for Down syndrome!

Perfect and simple explanation that will be helpful for the PANCE, thank you!

The lecture is well organised and the facts are explained clearly. I just think the lecture could be more detailed than it is.

Very strong high content material in preparation for USMLE Boards.

I personally do not think that there was not enough of necessary depth taken for this topic that I had to rely on what I learned in medical school or look up information on external sites, which is FINE, but I thought the whole point of these videos were for review and the topics that needed review were not covered. I think the basic concept that of comparing the fetal heart tracing to the maternal tracing is missed. The explanation of the categories was so confusing. It should have just been Category I is this, Category III is this, and Category II is anything not above - this is so plain and simple. Instead, the lecture slide made it look like there were certain criteria that needed to be met for Category II. I do not think this was the best lecture by Dr. Gillispie and I recommend looking for outside sources to review this topic.

Dr. Gillespie is very articulate and well versed in the subject manner communicating effectively on the subject. I feel I have learned a lot to go into clinic with when I’m done with her videos.

I feared ob all the time, yet Dr. Gillispie made the concept very palatable and enjoyable. I wish the gyn presentation was that simple and informative. Thanks

Very hard to follow. It is a shame since it is an important subject for the OBGYN rotation. The lecture should be more structured between the subject. It would be beneficial to follow a more classical approach, so we can properly follow. i.e. : 1st present primary amenorrhoea, the secondary. After that, have a few lectures on individual entities (Pathophysiology ? Presentation ? Diagnostic ? Management). Then finish with a lecture to differentiate the differential diagnostic. I really tried to give the course a chance, but it is a mess to follow, and I had to consult other sources to understand key differences between the diagnosis.

I completed this course 100 % . I also got all answers and I want to certificate

Comprehensive and at the same time, straight to the point. Very good articles, questions and materials. The videos are very clear, and Dr. Gillespie is great.

LikeLike it very much,Like it very much, it very much,Like it very much,

Super, thanks for your great explanation. It was very easy to learn subject with Lectuio. Keep going

Very comprehensive and relevant. Details mentioned contain adequate conceptual and factual content combined.

Very comprehensive and well explained. I like the way the lectures are being handled with the tests after. Thanks

Muy buen curso, me felicitaron en clase por el amplio dominio del tema y por todos los datos que aporte.

WELL PRESENTED lecture. Understanding the concept of sexual assault well explained

Great Review, simple and concise. Entertaining, and yes I was the fastest

It’s basic and concise information. Uworld questions and my friends that have taken step 2 this year stated that there were more questions on pathophysioloy of disease. These lectures need to address this new question format.

Hi Her lectures seem to be very clear and contain good points which are relevent To usmle ´s examination.

well explained and detailed content and structure for easy understanding and memorization

Teacher is wonderfully explained the topic. Very practical , clear and concise information

Excellent content and presentation short and easy to follow and remains engaged.

I actually just took my first maternity exam this past Friday and having listened to your lectures really helped me alot. Thank you for teaching the topic on FHR so effortlessly. Because of this, I was finally able to understand the topic

Great . Concise and handled supposed high yield areas . I was able to answer couple of questions with it

Awesome! I like how fluent the Dr. is. Keep the hard work.

As always, Dr. Gillispie has the best lectures. The treatment methods were explained very clearly.

This course was clear, concise and interactive. All the components are there to help us understand the topic and memorize the most important things

I love her, she's great at explaining. The use of case scenarios make the classes more interesting too.

I liked the one on ectopic pregnancy. Showing ultrasounds of normal vs. ectopic made it more interesting. Great professor too.

Good information, I learn a lot about POS. Thanks a lot i like it very much

Very concise and easy to grasp. Liked how there's always a case study to help in assimilation

Thank you very much Iliked this course because I got a big knowledge about ANC which will help me in my practice as a family physician

No disrespect meant at all, but I am a 52 year old just retired internist , preparing to get back to work by taking the SPEX test, I found almost all your lectures to be very good- great EXCEPT GYNECOLOGY, poor presentation, spilling facts without explaining bases, very annoying tone, AND NO POINTER TO HIGHLIGHT THE SLIDES OR PICTURES, I loved the OB, Radiology, Epidemiology, and Emergency medicine so far Regards

Easy, to the point, just enough for a non-specialist, the lecturer is extremely efficient, the formate is brilliant

Dr. Gillispie has a great presence and attitude that regardless my very low interest in obstetrics I get hooked to her lessons. I am glad I found her videos because Obstetrics is one of my weak areas.

Excellent. I like how you help us remember various steps like the descent of the fetus by comparing it to a wedding procession. Excellent!

I fine it interesting, looking forward for more educational stuffs. Thank you

d abord j aime l obstetrique les videos sont courtes et precises il est vraiment facile et tres abordable

This presentation could use more substance. I wish it was presented better.

lecture is short and high yield, i loved it. add more contents like chorioamnionitis, respiratory distress, uterine rupture. and explanation after quiz question would be better.

Thanks so much for making this complex topic clear and simple.

Concise and covered the needed material. Along with providing the differential diagnosis to pay attention to.

many important points were repeated so that it was strongly hammered into my head

A high yield review! I would just like to point out that some of the topic needs to be further discussed especially on the graphs and other drawings shown. I would also like to recommend putting some actual videos explaining/showing the procedures or anything that needs to be visually explained by videos. Overall, a great course, very helpful and highly recommended! Kudos

this needs reading..it doesnt give you explanation.i knew what she was talking about cuz i finished my obs and gynecology.for an institution this big its a shame.many non profit youtubers make better videos.i come here just for the quizes.yet from all the videos in lecturio this is the most disappointing....

The lectures are very high yield and to the point. They explain everything so well and make you feel silly for not understanding some topics when you read them in a textbook. I also love the lecturer. She really made me understand and fall in love with obstetrics.

Very informative and quite clear and precise on concepts to take note of.

I like it very much I like the way you give relevant informations in understandable way with review questions And you may add drug dosages and duration in management

I like the way you explained it by giving clear explanations, also the content was rich .keep up

she modulates her voice that keeps you engaged and divides the content into easy to understand packages of knowledge

It was easy to follow, she had a great outline, and I appreciated the question as a review at the end.

easy interpretation, organize lectures , and lectures were very rich with a lot of important perceptual information

very organize lectures, simple to understand, and very rich with important information

Those lectures were very organized, very rich of very important information , and simple to understand them

it is concise, it says what is important and what you should know. Explain clearly. I would like more material that expands on the topic, but it´s fine, while I have internet I can search myself

The content is explained well. Easy to understand. Testing after the lecture makes it easy to memorize and retain information.

The discussion is easy to follow and it briefly explains the topic very well. It was also good that it emphasize on clinical pearls. I’m really amazed by the Dr. Gillispie and would like to thank her for lecturing the OB module.

The lectures are to the point and very interestingly presented. It brings the desire to read thoroughly based on the lessons given. Every medical student should watch this especially at this time.

The lecture stated the changes during pregnancy, while cause of the most of them are not explained in it. It would be better if the cause were stated along side to their effect. A medical student really needs them.

It is very well explained, especially when studying ObGyn, as it is important to review the most basic facts first before moving to the pathology of ObGyn disorders.

excelente, tiene muy bien discurso, es claro y explica de una manera en que es fácil recordar

no es muy util, solo enlista etiologias, seria mejor enfocar mas en fisiopatologia de las mas importantes

Simply "don't" like it at all" because the list of the videos are not in order. which makes it very hard to follow the playlist.

I like this courses and the way of teaching , i'll recommend them for anthers

no order on it, it would be better if keeps an idea flow as, epidemiology, etiology, fisiopatology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment. i felt like jumping from one idea to another

All are well explained Useful for all doctors in thair practice Thank you

I liked it due to the fact that it was easy to understand and nice to watch.

It is an excellent presentation of Obstetrics will and systematically organized

This class was really hard to memorize for me, and to answer the questions even more. But the explanation was very clear thanks. After 3 times of repetition i was abble to answer the questions.

Love the details but mainly high yield information. Great recap.

I think is a very good class, the information is precise is very well explained I think with the cases include is more easy to put the information that you learn to use

Great explanation and very well summarized thank you Dr. Veronica

Excellent course. Simple yet conplete with all the info about the topic

very succinct and presenter was very knowledgeable, easy to understand

Dr.Gillispie has explained all the lectures in a very easy manner and her pace with the words is very convenient to make notes simultaneously. I have really enjoyed all the lectures I have watched so far.

excellent t is nice because in a short time you have a lot of content.

She is nice and a lot of knowledge and good professor.

Overall good. I don't understand the 1 star ratings. I do agree that a significant amount of time is spent refering to other videos which is not necessary, people know that if they want to learn more about congenital adrenal hyperplasia they can view a CAH lecture. It does not have to be repeated twice in the same lecture. Also wish that the questions would reflect the taught material, if you wish to have them about something else, please review that topic (if only briefly) in the lectures. Often the majority of questions where not covered in the lecture.

it was very interesting, I have never heard about the issues, it helped me to understand my sexuality and my sexual drives more. Since it is considered a taboo to talk it was very enjoyable to learn something from a pro. But I think she need to be more comfortable with the camera.

Great lecture, Really helped me understand gestational diabetes tests better

The instructor merely reads the slides without much explanation. Many important but basic topics in gyne are not covered. Finally, the lectures are utterly disorganized and the instructor makes innumerable references to her other lectures to "read more".

An amazing course the main reason is that all concepts presented by Dr. Veronica Gillispie are so well explained. And also all the clinical cases presented, help to understand in a deeper level all the concepts and highlights concerning the subject.

Tis lecture and all the subsequent lectures on abnormal uterine bleeding was very helpful. At first had difficulty understanding the topic, then i came across the videos. They have helped me better understand and feel more confident in answering questions concerning this topic.

great information the material was to the point ! great review

Keeps saying there is another lecture for this and that, also goes fast and doesn't provide sufficient information.

Thank you for making this topic easy to understand. This makes revision straightforward.

This lecture is far too basic. No depth into the how the hormones interact, no explanation for why the hormone levels at each day appear the way they do.

Very basic video with no structure and deep insight into the menstrual cyle

Very confusing lecture. Need to explain the terms more in detail.

Thanks for a good lecture videos. I improved a lot. I will recommend this app to my friends.

This lecture is not good at all. Please explain the mechanism of the symptom.

Hello Dr.Lynae Brayboy,good lecture,keep it going!All the very best!

What's the point of a lecture if you are just listing things, reading the powerpoint without explaining all the terms for goitre for example? Give us the prevalence of each symptom or of the varieties fo goitre, etc.. so that we know what we should expect in practice. The same applies for all lectures otherwise why pay? I can read it myself.

I am a first year Resident at The University of Nairobi, Kenyatta National Hospital. After going through the whole lecture series on Gynae, My understanding and knowledge has improved greatly thanks to the explicit and vivid and simplify lectures delivered by Dr Lynae. Thanks

The presentation was brief and simplified thanks too much and I hope like these lectures in future

Excellent course, with relevant high yield, information. The instructor made it engaging.

Great way of explaining complex questions. Nice way of teaching with examples and cases.

Dr. Gillispie is one of my favorite lecturers. Really makes Obstetrics easy to learn.

very simple to the point and explain many thing was difficult to me

Nice lecture for all medical professionals , accrarate, brief and a needful topic

Excellent teacher, the lectures are clear and concise with relevant high yield material.

many lectures and literature says that the number of fetus doesnt affect parity while your school of thought teaches that that number of fetus in the pregnancy affects the parity

just reading the screen in front of her but that's not the big deal.. her pauses are horrible misleading and ruining the focus .. so instead of focusing on the subject im focusing on understanding whenever she pauses in a wrong place one repeating voice rhythm circling again and again sorry but i had to find some other resource to study this subject from

I really enjoyed Dr. Gillispie lectures. They are easy to follow and she obviously knows her stuff. I wished I had started earlier.

I learning too much that was so clear, even I have a different native language I can understand very well

This course gives a great overview of the information you need to know. I still use other resources, but Dr. Gillispie is able to break things down to a very understandable level for a great starting point.

The lecture is not clearly structured, and not easy to follow, often have to pause to figure out what is being said. Look at Dr. Raj's lectures for better teaching strategies

Easy to understand lectures and you can feel her passion as she delivers the lectures.

Good lecture that covers the antenatal tests with appropriate detail. Would have liked to have the context of what weeks gestation these tests occur - 32 and 36-38 weeks gestation per article.

Stage one is divided into two phases latent until 4 cm dilated and active phase from 6 cm - 10 cm. what about from 4cm - 6cm? under which phase does it fall? Most of the resources state latent phase is until 6 cm dilated.

Thank u very much for your information I really understood all the topics from you

The course is well structured and stresses out important practical aspects. I love the way teacher explains things and uses visuals very effectively, as well as the cases all throughout.

Not good at all. 1. The pdf file says that the ACTH acts on the Kidney. 2. The pdf contains the WHO classification for secondary amenorrhea but was not part of the lecture. 3. What makes a female athlete triad a triad?- That should be included in the lecture. 4. The lecturer just read what is on the pdf file without explaining further why those things are happening "Endocrine Profile of Hypothalamic Amenorrhea".

The lecturer keeps on saying " There's a separate lecture for this topic".

This lecture was engaging, clearly explained and time efficient. It's really easy to memorize key information using this short video. Thank you!

too many irelevant details about certain topics and completely forgot to mention other important topics

Use 5 stars since the information within the video was clear and concise, in addition to explaining and comparing the various contraceptive methods I recommend this reading

Very nicely presented and she has such a lovely voice. Just not 5 stars because of the ocasional stutter.

Dr. Lynae definitely knows how to teach in a way that a student can understand. I would recommend this lecture to anyone.

im not paying the lecturer to read off the slides... (look at Carlo Rajs Videos , they are amazing) someone else also mentioned that there is too much look at the other lecture.. give detailed explanations .. one liners don't work anymore. or if you want, post links to other videos which do explain pathophysio or treatment. Why is there no mention of diagnostic work up treatment etc?

she's very relatable. I feel like she makes things soooo much easier

Very concise and accurate. The lecture is summarized well in a manner we can all grasp!

just AMAZING how she can make complicated stuff look easy , thank you

v good informative v good reasoning good presentation ..ellaborate and more reachabble

Hi, just curious as to why a video like "Normal Menstrual Cycle" is all the way at the bottom? The ordering of this entire gynae course, not just this "Abnormal Menstruation" section (which again, is the first section on the contents page), makes navigating and understanding the content more difficult. Would it be possible to re-order them?

same as I said before in the last course, very good

very simple, direct, easy to digest, and the Questions are very helpful in memorizing and the repeating it often is amazing for the memory and understanding. also, the articles attached are very beneficial in case something was not clear

very simple and effective approach.the discussion of the questions side by side is ver useful

I love how it is to the point and summerized but i feel that alot of information and detailes need to be cleared and explained

Very informative and to a level, where you can revise from!

amazing lectures. Makes you want to take part in them and great thing about it is that it is NOT Monotonic unlike psychiatry and gyne lectures. Thank you.

I used this Lecture series to cram for a final and I was able to get a good grade because I finally understood some of the concepts I was struggling to understand thanks to these lectures.

Her lectures are easy and simple to understand, she really takes her time to explain especially with those real life situations examples.

Review is concise and very comprehensive- Dr Gillispie explains everything with clarity-

The lectures are concise, substantial and illustrative. I'm a very visual learner and Lecturio does it perfect for me. Way to go Dr Gillispie!

It is a good review about pregnancy physiology, it help's remainding short but key concepts we must know.

Like it very much! was a great lecture! thank you very much!

Lecture goes straight to the point! High yield info that help reinforce my class lectures.

Veronica has such a nice and confident voice. This chapter has very useful questions too.

good and clear concept.need more lecture, please.specific and helpful for examination.

Thanks! I needed to be updated in this area and you made a great job. /MD in Sweden

This lecture (over the last 3) is a bit problematic - there should be 2 versions: a version for students who are looking for information going along side classes and another (this one) more suited for USMLE fast review. Too much "see the other video for more info" when a 1 sentence summary and link to the other video to pause and expand knowledge would be helpful. However, regardless of knowledge the clinical case studies should really emphasize thought process and diagnostic workup. This was "think about what it could be" then provides a barebones answer which you also couldn't have reached terminology wise because it was never defined until reaching the case study. A detailed map, explanation and full answer with details would have been better.

Straight to the point! Thi lecture gives you basic need to know info

Great lectures and a good refresher just before the exam date.

Very good course, it helped me and corrected a lot of my informations, thanks.

Great teacher , loud and clear speaking and awesome pictures. Congrats!

Like so many Lecturio courses, there are several important topics missing. I have just found these ones, but i am sure there are more. Missing: Pelvic Organ Prolapse Urinary Incontinence;stress,functional,urge,bypass,overvlow,mixed Fecal Incontinence

I liked this lecture, it was short and very to point

important details have covered quickly. i love the way of giving information.

Not bad, but missed some more details in this course

Very basic, like other Lecturio courses. It is not worth the money.

The content is clear and easily understood . It's also very straightforward and doesn't contain unnecessary stuffs

I really would like to hear the explainations for interventions along with the problems

Explanations are very clear and understandable. It was really interesting to watch this lectures. Thank you!

Good job, wonderful lectures. I liked it so much. keep it up.

very resourceful for routine labs . i found it necessary and helpful

Very well explained lectures. She makes it easy to understand.

Great explaination and presentation ! She described clearly and let me know what importance to memorize.

I like this lecture because the teacher explain clearly so i understood easily.

Very nice presentation... good for clearing concepts and understanding. Thank u so much!

Definitely watching it again, loved the lecture, pace and was able to focus since the material is very clear. Nothing distracts me.

Great presentation! Clear expression and the presentation contains high yields that are clearly highlighted. Reproductive endocrinology is a hard topic but she made concise and understandable.

For everyone who wants to have a better score on the Usmle. Very high yield material!!

I really like this course, there are many high yield material presenting very clear.

VERY HELPFUL AND CONCISE. Quick info. needed for clinicals. Thanks!

I’m just getting an over view at the moment however, Dr Lynae Brayboy’s lectures are lovely, clear and informative thank you! Interesting that alternative treatments are also mentioned though made clear not FDA approved. But that is expected from the FDA as they tend only to be concerned with synthetic drugs and not herbal treatments. While most herbal treatments have been used throughout history and are said to have little or no side effects can still be dangerous (contraindicated) if taken with or along side prescribed medications. I believe this comes across pretty clearly in these lectures, that strive to be unbiased. But as stated Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a controversial treatment.

Clarity, specificity, definitive, flawless style, overall lecture is eloquently delivered.

l like the course because it is very comprehensive, straightforward and gives a quick review of important aspect of the topic. it could be imporved by discussing possible etiologies of some pathologies.

Nice explanation , easy to understand, and the presentations are very nice point to point.

I like the order Dr. Veronica explains de cases but I think this and other obstetrics lectures lack a lot of information we may be asked at the USMLE. I guess I'll yo complement it with a lot of reading. When is gynecology due???

She is very thorough without burdening with too much jargon or unnecessary details. She also teaches through high yield questions and case examples. I would definitely recommend this course for subject exams and USMLE review

very helpful but it would be more if there is a more vivid descriptions

I Really liked it. The example you gave with the wedding was perfect, I will never forget it.

She is really amazing! I have been learning a lot. Thanks Dra. Veronica Gillispie.

The course was very helpful and I like how the Doctor teaches with cases too

it is very basic, not in detailed lecture,try to tell topic in detailed manner

Course is not bad but where is the Gyn Part ????

This was a very comprehensive lecture! I enjoyed it and learned so much!
