Event Details
RANZCOG Aotearoa offers a workshop focused on cultural competence when working with Pacific people, specifically in obstetrics and gynaecology. This includes Pacific patients and also considers working with / teaching / supervising Pacific trainees, junior doctors and medical students.

- O&G case studies and applying considerations for practice
