Target Audience and Needs

Obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, fellows, residents, and medical students need to receive regular updates on advances in obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine. The series will use discussions of complex pregnancies to review the function of collaborative multidisciplinary teams in the delivery of safe, evidence-based patient care to both mother and fetus.  The series aims to advance the knowledge of learners, aid the formulation of detailed care plans, and improve patient outcomes.

Educational Methods

Educational methods will include lectures and case presentations.

Objectives

• Recognize the diagnostic components needed to properly evaluate complex pregnancies.
• Identify pregnant women and fetuses who are at high risk for complications and require multidisciplinary management to optimize care delivery.
• Promote open communication among multidisciplinary care team members to formulate strategies to coordinate obstetric care and address potential challenges in labor and delivery.
• Apply current professional guidelines and clinical best practices in the management of complex pregnancies.

Evaluation

Participants may be asked to complete a session evaluation.
