Johns Hopkins University Exploring Shoulder DystociaFrom: National Brachial Plexus/Erb's Palsy (erbspalsy@usa.net)Fri Feb 18 10:38:13 2005
Exploring Shoulder Dystocia and Brachial Plexus Injury: Multi-disciplinary Perspectives Sunday May 22, 2005 - Monday May 23, 2005 Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Turner Bldg. Baltimore, MD Sponsored by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Departments of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Neurosurgery, and Biomedical Engineering * Course Description * Course Objectives * Registration Information & Fees * Accreditation * Faculty * Program * Travel Info * Download Course Brochure and Registration Form (PDF) Course Description: This symposium will create an open environment for education, debate and improved communication among a diverse community of professionals impacted by the problem of shoulder dystocia and brachial plexus injury. By utilizing a combination of traditional didactics and interactive, audience-participation formats, we have chosen as a central feature of our activity, repeated facilitated panel discussions intended to critically evaluate, synthesize and refocus the issues as they are presented throughout the symposium. The course features seven sessions covering a variety of themes, including the purpose and goal of mutual dialogue and education, exploration of the mechanism of injury and standard of care, confronting management dilemmas in shoulder dystocia and obstetric brachial plexus injury, understanding the patient and family's experience and setting a course for future research and educational endeavors. We will also incorporate special interest "breakout" sessions to focus on research models, surgical approaches, bioengineering applications to injury assessment and prevention, simulation for education and improved clinician-patient communication. Target Audience: Obstetricians, Family Practitioners, Pediatricians, Neonatologists, Neurosurgeons, Neurologists, Plastic Surgeons, Orthopaedists, Physical Therapists, Midwives, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses and Hospital Administrators. Following this activity, the participant should be able to: * Review the historical understanding of neonatal brachial plexus injury and its relationship to shoulder dystocia * Identify and assess potentially critical determinants of injury, including the intrauterine environment, the birth process and obstetric manipulation * Formulate and explain the evaluation, prognostication and management of obstetric brachial plexus injury * Understand the current status of medical-legal liability of shoulder dystocia-related brachial plexus injuries * Discuss areas of consensus and controversy concerning mechanism of injury, standard of care, obstetric and pediatric management and potential for injury prevention, mitigation and risk reduction * Foster ongoing collaboration and support among the represented disciplines through establishment of a patient registry and dissemination of results REGISTRATION: Sunday, May 22, 2005 7:45 - 8:45 a.m. Location: Thomas B.

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.
