UKOM SpOG study guide
UKOM SpOG · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
UKOM SpOG is the Indonesian national competency examination that a doctor must pass to be recognised as a specialist in obstetrics and gynaecology (Spesialis Obstetri dan Ginekologi, SpOG). It is intended for residents who have completed their specialist training programme and for candidates whose training is being assessed against the national standard. The UKOM SpOG study guide has 10 sections and about 3,349 words.
01Antenatal Care and Normal Pregnancy
This domain tests whether you can run a safe, evidence-based antenatal pathway: dating the pregnancy, scheduling contacts, ordering only justified tests, and recognising the boundary between normal and referral. UKOM SpOG vignettes are usually set in a puskesmas or district hospital, so the answer usually turns on WHO and POGI rules rather than exotic diagnoses.
392 words, about 2 min02Obstetric Complications and High-Risk Pregnancy
This domain covers hypertensive disease, diabetes, preterm labour, isoimmunisation and medical disorders in pregnancy. The exam tests thresholds, timing of delivery, and drug safety - the exact numbers that separate a safe plan from a dangerous one.
345 words, about 2 min03Intrapartum Care, Labor, and Delivery
This domain tests the mechanics of normal and abnormal labour: partograph interpretation, fetal heart rate classification, second-stage manoeuvres, and third-stage prophylaxis. Questions often ask what you do in the next five minutes.
327 words, about 2 min04Postpartum Care and Puerperal Complications
This domain tests postpartum haemorrhage, puerperal sepsis, breastfeeding problems and normal involution. The exam favours “what is the first drug” and “how much blood loss counts” questions.
331 words, about 2 min05Gynecologic Oncology
This domain tests screening algorithms, staging, and the first diagnostic step for a suspicious lesion in cervical, ovarian, endometrial and trophoblastic disease. Staging numbers must be memorised exactly.
315 words, about 2 min06Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility
This domain tests the couple's work-up, ovulation induction, PCOS and hyperprolactinaemia. Exam questions reward correct first-line choices and correct interpretation of semen analysis and hormone panels.
312 words, about 2 min07Urogynecology and Pelvic Floor Medicine
This domain tests the classification of urinary incontinence, POP-Q staging, and stepwise conservative versus surgical management. Questions frequently hinge on reading a POP-Q chart or choosing the correct first-line therapy.
328 words, about 2 min08Gynecologic Infectious Disease and Family Planning
This domain tests syndromic management of vaginal discharge and PID, plus WHO Medical Eligibility Criteria for contraception. The exam rewards exact regimens, partner treatment and correct MEC category.
329 words, about 2 min09Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Fetal Assessment
This domain tests antepartum fetal surveillance, growth assessment and Doppler interpretation. Questions ask you to classify a test as normal, equivocal or abnormal and to decide the timing of delivery.
328 words, about 2 min10Emergency Obstetrics and Critical Care
This domain tests resuscitation, eclampsia, massive obstetric haemorrhage, sepsis and maternal cardiac arrest. It is scored on sequence and speed - the first three actions matter more than the complete list.
