Written by Washington University house staff and faculty, this pocket-sized survival guide provides all the essential obstetrics and gynecology information that every intern needs from Day 1 on the wards. Content includes algorithms, useful formulas, patient notes, top ten work-ups, common calls and complaints, key points on most common problems, essentials of "what not to miss" and "when to refer/call for help," and "tricks of the trade."

The Obstetrics section is subdivided into antepartum, medical complications of pregnancy, intrapartum, postpartum, and ultrasound and genetics. The Gynecology section covers general gynecology, gynecologic infectious diseases, contraception, urogynecology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and gynecologic oncology.
