NMC Competency Map
Obstetrics and Gynaecology NMC Competencies
Every clinical decision in Obstetrics and Gynaecology traces back to an NMC competency code, and MedNext maps all of them. The NMC OG module runs from OG1 through OG38, covering reproductive anatomy, antenatal care, hypertensive and haemorrhagic disorders, normal and abnormal labour, the MTP Act, contraception, infertility, prolapse and gynaecological malignancies. For MBBS students these codes define exactly what you must be able to elicit, describe and manage before you qualify. For NEET-PG and NExT, the same codes are the blueprint the paper is built from, so a code-first revision reads the way the examiner writes. At MedNext every chapter, every MCQ and every visual cheat-sheet carries its OG code, so you can move from a weak topic straight to the teaching that fixes it and confirm you have covered the full curriculum. This is how you stop revising by textbook chapter and start revising by what is actually assessed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many NMC competency codes does Obstetrics and Gynaecology have?
The MedNext content library covers 128 unique competency codes for Obstetrics and Gynaecology, spanning the NMC OG module from OG1 to OG38 plus the integrated codes it references.
Are these OG codes the same ones tested in NEET-PG and NExT?
Yes. The NMC competencies are the blueprint from which NEET-PG and NExT questions are drawn, so revising by code aligns your preparation with how the papers are actually set.
Can I revise a single OG code rather than a whole chapter?
You can. Every MedNext chapter, MCQ and cheat-sheet is tagged with its OG code, so you can jump straight to one competency, read the teaching and test yourself on it.
How do I know I have covered the full OBGYN curriculum?
Because each code maps to specific content, you can track coverage code by code and see exactly which competencies you have not yet revised.
Do the codes cover both obstetrics and gynaecology?
Yes. The OG module covers antenatal care, labour and its complications on the obstetric side, and menstrual disorders, infertility, prolapse and malignancies on the gynaecological side.
