I suggest to read this article :http://www.obgmanagement.com/article_pages.asp?AIDf50 How simulation can train, and refresh, physicians for critical OB eventsAnd if one collegue want to learn quickly can go as voluntary unpaied for one or two months in an african or asian ( for example Bangladesh) hospital and he or she will see and learn what probably will not see in ten or more years of practice in U.S.A.(without lawyers) Obviously under more experienced doctor surveillance and with the objective to help less lucky people. That is what happens also in my hospital. It would be interesting that a big hospital in U.S.A. and everywhere in rich countries would adopt an hospital in poor countries where send his doctors ,nurses and midwives with a limited absence (place of work manteined when coming back)with two big results:helping poor people and sanitary personal in U.S.A. with a big clinical experience .

Scenario is not uncommon. the last generation of OBs (>65 yo) would simply have delivered vaginal. Our generation (35-65) would at seriously consider delivering vaginal. The "present generation" (new grads to 35) perhaps have seen one vaginal breech in 4 years of residency and are left with no option other than emergency c-section. agf

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
