Pediatric Education Online
This podcast presents an overview of female genital cutting, or FGC, from a pediatrics perspective. In it, the listener will learn to discuss what FGC is, where and why it is performed, the complications of FGC, how FGC is addressed in Canadian law, an approach to discussing FGC with patients and their families, and an approach to a pelvic exam in a child who has been cut. The podcast was developed by Dora Gyenes, a medical student at the University of Alberta, with support from Dr. Cathy Flood, a urogynecologist at the Royal Alexandra Hospital.
