Educational Aims

Principle goal of ISPOG
The principle goal of ISPOG with regard to education is “to promote the access to a psychosomatic approach for all Ob/Gyn health care providers in order to fulfill the needs of the patients they treat and/or care for”.

Our educational goals are the following:

• To develop an E-learning Academy
• To provide access to the talks of psychosomatic symposia/congresses by means of webcasts
• To offer and encourage workshops to give members the opportunity to experience the psychosomatic approach personally

Educational Modules

Educational modules are brief modules on a variety of topics that are focused, case-based, and practical. These modules are peer-reviewed by specialty editors. We invite ISPOG members with expertise in particular areas to submit modules for review. Incoming modules are uploaded in a step-by-step process.

Relevant facts and figures are presented, advice is provided regarding the medical, psychological, and caring process, and contextual aspects are discussed. The book offers practical tips and actions within the bio-psycho-social approach, and highlights important do’s and don’ts. To avoid a strict somatic thinking pattern, the importance of communication, multidisciplinary collaboration, and creation of a working alliance with the patient is emphasized.
