Arrangements for Students’ Accommodation for 2023/2024 Academic Year

The Residence Board has deliberated on accommodation arrangements for the 2023/2024 academic year and made the following decisions:

As was indicated at the beginning of the 2022/2023 academic year, and in consonance with the In-Out-Out-Out policy which came into effect in the 2022/2023 academic year, the traditional halls will be progressively reserved for fresh students only. All first-year undergraduate students who were given accommodation in traditional halls for the 2022/2023 academic year would have to apply for accommodation in the UGEL Halls, private hostels or any of the off-campus accommodation facilities from the 2023/2024 academic year.

UG Admission and Accommodation (Residential ) Fees for 2023/2024 Academic Year 

Students with Special Needs and Levels 300 and 400 students who resided in traditional halls for the 2022/2023 academic year, will continue to retain their residence until completion.

University of Ghana UG Student Portal login

A new random bed assignment system designed by UGCS will be implemented for the 2023/2024 academic year, beginning with the allocation of beds to continuing students in the UGEL halls. This forms part of recommendations by a committee set up by the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Student Affairs) to develop a new, transparent and equitable room allocation/balloting system for students.

 

Random assignment of beds to students will be conducted openly to allow all stakeholders to observe the transparency in the process.

 

The new bed allocation system will provide 60% of available spaces in the UGEL Halls for Level 200/second year undergraduate students, and 20% each for undergraduate students in Level 300 and Level 400.

 

The new system will also be used to assign all beds in the traditional halls to first year/Level 100 students beginning their programmes in the 2023/2024 academic year.

 

Students interested in being considered in the random assignment of beds would have to opt-in after completing their academic registration. A web link (https://sts.ug.edu.gh/) will be embedded in their online registration processes for the purpose. Those who have already completed their academic registration can use this link https://sts.ug.edu.gh/ to get into the portal.

 

As part of the new system, nearly all beds will be assigned randomly through the new system developed by the UGCS; only a limited number of beds will be reserved at the hall level for critical needs (e.g. students with special needs). Therefore, all students seeking University accommodation are highly encouraged to ensure their early registration, and completion of the form by which to indicate interest in being included in the random assignment exercise.

 

Random bed allocation for UGEL halls will take place on Friday October 6, 2023 at 10am. Therefore, students who wish to be included must sign-up by Thursday October 5,2023.

 

While the University makes efforts to increase its residential facilities, Management would like to reiterate that accommodation is not tied to admission into the University. Students who are, unfortunately, not successful in securing any of the available spaces on campus would have to make alternative accommodation arrangements.

The University wishes to reiterate that under no circumstance should any student or parent/guardian pay money to anyone for a bed. This is illegal and both the seller and buyer will be violating the regulations of the University and will be sanctioned accordingly.

Students must also take note that “perching” is illegal and that defaulting students will face the necessary disciplinary procedures and sanctions if found guilty.

The Residents shall moderate the presentation and discussion.  At the end the Consultant shall summarise, emphasizing the core points of the subject.

Clerkship Hand-Out

You are all welcome into the Department of Obs/Gynae.  I will like you to appreciate that in this department you deal with the most personal and intimate parts of the females and hence your approach to the patient should be very tactful and polite.

For the first time in your training you have the opportunity to do a lot for the patient yourself and it is our wish that you take the opportunity to get involved in the work of the Department.

The Clerkships are combined ones and hence you must pay equal attention to both Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

Students in each group starting the Junior Clerkship period will be allocated to one of the 5 firms within the department.  Each student should follow the weekly timetable of the firm to which he or she is attached, as far as ward work, clinics and operating sessions are concerned.  Such a timetable should be obtained from the Consultantin-charge working in the firm.  Over and above this work, students must devote as much of their time during this Clerking period to the labour suite, and they should follow their Unit Doctors on emergency duty.

The duties in the labour suite should include history taking and admission of patients, routine observations normally carried out in the first stage room eg. fetal heart monitoring, pulse and blood pressure readings, testing of urine, setting up and monitoring intravenous infusion, vaginal examinations to assess progress of labour, normal vaginal deliveries under supervision and repair of episiotomies  or perineal tears.  Students must try as much as possible to follow up cases from the time of admission into the labour suite to the time of discharge from the postnatal ward, so that they will be able to record their observations.

You will be expected to complete a partograph for each patient that you follow up in the labour suite and deliver.

This must be signed for you by the supervision midwife/Doctor soon after the delivery and submitted at the end of the Clerkship.  Students should take every opportunity to examine patients, observe and assist in operative vaginal deliveries, and also Caesarean sections.  Suturing Episiotomies is a Must and All Students Should Learn, Perform and Repair Episiotomies.

In the labour suite the students must conduct themselves well.  They must realise that the Sister or Midwife is incharge of the patients in the labour suite.  They must therefore carry out routine procedures as instructed by her and also not to undertake any other procedures on patients without her knowledge or that of the doctor.  Students, while working in the labour suite, must change into proper labour suite attire, which is obtainable from the Sister.

There will be several routine rounds in the labour suite, both by Junior and Senior member of staff and you are advised to avail yourself for them.

Students must be present in the Department especially the labour suite when on call as much as possible throughout the duty period in order to be present when the cases are being managed.

Needless to say, if a student is unwell, has a sore throat, cold, septic finger and infection, he or she should not attend the labour suite or operating theatres.  The student should inform a member of the senior staff in their firm.

The periods spent in the clinic (both antenatal and gynaecological) should be utilized to the full.  The student should train himself in taking histories and seize every opportunity of examining patients.  Students should attach themselves to Members of the senior Staff.  These clinics should give the student a clear idea of the numbers, type of patients and abnormal conditions seen in our community.

In the ante-natal and postnatal wards students are responsible for clerking cases and also in helping the junior staff with the work-up of patients.  Students should as much as possible follow up cases that they have witnessed or managed in the labour suite.

Each student will be allocated a certain number of beds and the students will be responsible for clerking the patients that occupy these beds.  The students must be prepared to present such cases during ward rounds.

While in postnatal wards students should familiarise themselves with the care of babies especially of the ones they delivered.  Such care includes proper examination to exclude congenital abnormalities, bathing, preparation of feeds, observation of weight charts and breast feeding.  Students should also try and follow up babies being cared for in the

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

In Gynaecological wards the students would be allocated a number of beds for which they will be responsible.  Duties include clerking and work up of patients and assisting in the operating theatre.  They should be ready to present them during ward rounds.

No student will be allowed to appear for the final examination in Obstetrics and Gynaecology without completing the clerkship satisfactorily.  Students who fail such an assessment test will have to repeat part or all the clerkship period during the Vacation.

During the period of Junior Clerkship each student must prepare a Case-Record Book.  The purpose of this book is to give a clear idea of the work done and cases seen during the Clerkship period.  To facilitate the presentation of this work each student will be supplied with an empty book at the beginning of the Clerkship.  In it will be found detailed instructions of the number and type of cases you are expected to see or manage.

In summary these are:-

For Obstetrics

Details are per heading of 10 witnessed cases of normal deliveries.

Full details of 3 cases delivered personally.  Each case must be signed by the Supervising sister or midwife or

Medical Officer in the Labour Suite.

Summary of at least 20 more normal cases delivered personally by the student.  Signatures of supervising midwife must be obtained in each case.

See as many abnormal cases as you possibly can and write up as described under each section.

Give details about babies as asked.

For Gynaecology

Full details of 10 cases personally clerked and followed up during the period of clerkship.  The cases should be as varied as possible.

Details should include:

History

Examination

Laboratory

Diagnosis

Operation findings and procedures

Histological examination

Results and prognosis

Critical appraisal of the management

The empty pages at the end of this book are reserved for the gynaecological cases.

Each patient selected for write up must be certified by the Team’s Consultant as having been managed by/with the student.

OBSTETRICS & GYNAECOLOGY CLERKSHIP

Rationale

The Obstetrics and Gynaecology Clerkship should concentrate on the basic sciences as applied to obstetrics and gynaecology and on the common clinical conditions that the student is bound to see during the period of the Clerkship.

Objectives

By the end of the Junior and Senior Clerkships, the student will:

• Have a sound grasp of the basic sciences as applied to obstetrics and gynaecology
• Be able to perform the following clinical activities satisfactorily:
• History taking and history presentation
• Physical examination and presentation of findings
• Be able to describe/discuss with confidence the treatment and management of complications of the common clinical conditions listed below

Although both clerkships will cover all the course objectives, the Junior Clerkship will be more focussed on the first two objectives while the Senior Clerkship will put more emphasis on the discussion of treatment and management of complications.
