A model for the transfer of new education methodologies to improve capacity development for low-income countries.

摘要

The RCOG was founded in 1929 to further the standard and quality of women's reproductive health care both within the UK and overseas. Very quickly, it became apparent that this aspiration could be linked closely to excellence in education. Today, the RCOG is an international organization of over 12 000 specialists who work in over 90 different countries. Nearly 50% of its global membership is based outside the UK and it has developed close relationships with other countries and specialists through the historical links of its own country. The organization has 29 representative groups overseas, each of which supports the needs and aspirations of its own members. Historically, RCOG education and training focused on postgraduate training within the UK and preparation for the MRCOG examination. Recently, however, the RCOG has undergone a transformation in diversifying into other areas of education activity.
