Needs Statement
The skills and simulation-based OBGYN Emergency Training Course is designed to address knowledge, competence, and performance gaps in the recognition and management of critical obstetrical and gynecologic emergencies commonly encountered by OBGYN hospitalists and generalists. Because many obstetrical emergencies are high-acuity, low-frequency events, clinicians may have limited opportunities to develop and maintain proficiency in the clinical decision-making, procedural skills, and team-based responses required for optimal patient outcomes. This evidence-based course strengthens clinical knowledge and reinforces essential emergency management skills through simulation-based learning, hands-on training, case reviews, and guided debriefing. Grounded in current obstetrical emergency guidelines and best practices, the curriculum focuses on the recognition and management of pregnancies of unknown location, hypertensive crisis and eclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, and maternal cardiac arrest, while also developing skills in ultrasound identification of ectopic pregnancy, shoulder dystocia management, and breech delivery. The goal of this course is to improve clinicians’ competence, confidence, and performance in managing obstetrical and gynecologic emergencies, ultimately enhancing patient safety and maternal outcomes.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for physicians, residents, fellows, and advanced practice providers.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the conference, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the increasing incidence of cesarean scar pregnancy and apply evidence-based diagnostic principles, including ultrasound assessment, to evaluate pregnancies of unknown location and suspected ectopic pregnancy.
- Apply current management strategies for hypertensive crisis and eclampsia in obstetric patients, including timely recognition, stabilization, treatment, and escalation of care.
- Demonstrate evidence-based approaches to postpartum hemorrhage management, including rapid assessment, treatment prioritization, escalation of care, and team communication.
- Recognize, learn, and manage maternal code scenarios using evidence-based resuscitation principles, role clarity, closed-loop communication, and coordinated team-based response.
- Perform critical obstetric emergency skills, including shoulder dystocia maneuvers, vaginal breech delivery techniques, breech extraction, and approaches to deep pelvic arrest, with emphasis on newer techniques and evolving best practices
- Integrate simulation-based practice and guided briefings to improve clinical decision-making, procedural confidence, team communications, and emergency response performance.
