Background:
Although the global average birth rate is trending to decline, emergency obstetrics and gynecology are persisting important clinical skills for general physicians in community hospitals which need a precise diagnosis and considerate initial management to prevent morbidity and mortality before referring to secondary care hospital.

Summary of work:
During the internship orientation program, we randomly divided the eighteen internships from various medical education centers (MEC) and medical schools into groups of three to four to imitate real-world situations which are unexpected and scarce for obstetricians and gynecologists. Each group attends the different simulations for 5 minutes. After that, the attendees express reflection and get feedback from observers and mentor for 3 minutes. Self-assessment questionnaires were collected at first and at the end of the class.

Summary of results:
Self-assessment confidence scores rose to a mean of 72.5% compared with 47.5% initially. Overall clinical skills including necessary investigation, accurate diagnosis, and proper management are beyond the requirement. However, two-thirds of the participants were still concerned about procedural skills due to insufficient experience. Most of the attendees were satisfied and gained the advantage with this assessment with a mean of 90.5% and 94.4% respectively.

Discussion:
Correspondingly to the professional standards of The Medical Council of Thailand, many MEC and medical schools are disciplined with procedural skills teaching to clinical medical students. Surpassingly to formative assessment, diagnostic assessment is not only helpful to evaluate what the attendees have learned in the past with different classes and teachers but also beneficial to evaluate the performing procedural skills, which can inform the mentor to instruct more effectively.

Conclusion:
Diagnostic assessment appears to be another practical evaluation for postgraduates.

Take Home Messages:
Postgraduate backgrounds should be evaluated with a diagnostic assessment initially for a more effective class.
