Melbourne University Obstetrics and Gynaecology Society (MUOGS)

The Melbourne University Obstetrics and Gynaecology Society (MUOGS) was founded in 2019 by medical students passionate about Women’s Health who wanted to provide a platform for students to engage in more O&G content outside the core curriculum.

Now in its sixth year, MUOGS has expanded to a committee of 18 passionate students and an active membership across all year levels of the MD.

Aims of MUOGS

To enhance the academic and professional opportunities for students interested in obstetrics and/or gynaecology;
To provide academic support to fellow students and thus foster communication of research ideas and collaboration;
To promote interaction, welfare, and cohesion between students interested in obstetrics and/or gynaecology;
To support the academic endeavours of students and to act as a representative group of graduates within the department.

What MUOGS offers

MUOGS has much to offer for students across all year levels of the MD, including:

Practical workshops, with past themes including perineal suturing, laparoscopic gynaecology, and how to deliver a baby
Educational seminars, for example, a 'You Can't Ask That' series covering topics that are often seen as taboo or stigmatised
Educational resources, such as fortnightly infographics, OSCE/SCBD scripts, and an entire peer tutoring program dedicated to teaching O&G content to MD3 students
Career and clinical research talks
Volunteering opportunities, such as participating in the Mothers Day Classic Fun Run, and packing clean birthing kits for under-resourced and remote regions
Social events, such as trivia night and pizza catch-ups
...and so much more!
