Abstrakt:	Background: Preparatory courses are frequently utilized strategies to assist, simplify, prepare, and give receivers a better understanding of varied knowledge. Nonetheless, data on this topic are rare throughout the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia. Objectives: This study aimed to look at the progress of students who took the "Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) Made Easy" course, a preparatory course for the fifth-year medical students studying OBGYN for the first time, at our institute. Materials and Methods: This is a non-experimental study performed in August 2021 among fifth-year medical students who attended the course at our university institute in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. An online questionnaire with 13 questions covering various course contents was used to collect data. Each student completed the identical questionnaire twice with randomized assortment: as a pretest and as a post-test of their knowledge. The qualitative data were described using the mean and standard deviation. P < 0.05 was considered significant when used to determine whether the difference in scores was statistically significant. Results: This research involved a total of 66 female students. These students' mean pre-course test score was 7.32 ± 1.807 out of 13. The mean post-course test score was 9.52 ± 2.054. There was a significant difference between the pre- and post-course outcomes when they were compared (P = 0.01). Conclusion: According to this study's findings, the students who took the course improved their post-course exam performance. The "OBGYN Made Easy" course should be offered for medical students to assist and guide them in preparing for their rotation in OBGYN.
