Over the past five years, I have been actively engaged in teaching Obstetrics & Gynaecology to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Additionally, I participated in intra-departmental audits, monitored patient care outcomes, and attended monthly meetings to review maternal mortality causes within our institution. Moreover, I took part in weekly clinical case discussions and biweekly journal club meetings. My involvement also extended to conducting a caesarean section audit at Lyell McEwin Hospital.
