The failure to train residents in the art of operative VAGINAL delivery is a serious problem that is leading to poor care. I too have seen Board Certified obstetricians deliver a transverse arrest at 2+ station abdominally simply because they are not trained or are not willing to take the perceived medicolegal risk. I don,t know what the solution is on a national level, but at least at this institution we actively support rotational forceps delivery, midforceps delivery and breech delivery with the correct prerequisites and indications. >From: David Nagey <dnagey@c3p0.ab.umd.edu> <Subject: Re: Atheism >It's Pascal's wager. >Date: Tue, 26 Dec 1995 23:56:04 EST >From: David Nagey <dnagey@c3p0.ab.umd.edu> >Subject: Re: Breech >I'm sorry to wade in when I have been accused of pontification in the >past but i must say that I feel that any OB/Gyn who was not trained in >the effective management of the vaginal breech or the vaginal OP/OT or >other operative vaginal delivery - has simply not been adequately >trained.

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.
