Knowledge and understanding

By the end of the training period the trainee will be able to demonstrate the ability to analyse, evaluate and synthesise relevant knowledge and its application to their professional practice in relation to being able to, with respect to the predisposing factors, presentation, differential diagnoses and management of oogenesis and factors affecting oogenesis including:
