Abstract This chapter focuses on single best answer questions that test knowledge on the endocrinology that is relevant for the MRCOG part 1 examination. A good understanding of the endocrinology that underpins the specialty is important.

Applied endocrinology is also seen in the antenatal clinic either preconceptionally or during pregnancy; with diabetes being extremely common within this context.
