In this course, attendees will rotate through 3 OB Emergency Scenarios:

1. Peripartum Cardiomyopathy  
    Lisa Diaz, MD & Selena Bartelson-Andrews, MD – Scenario Facilitators

2. Pulmonary Embolism Leading to Maternal Cardiac Arrest   
    Recia Frenn, MD & Maliha Sayla, MD – Scenario Facilitators

3. Surgical Management of Ectopic with Bowel Injury and Sepsis
   Stacy Young, MD & Allison Jacoby, MD – Scenario Facilitators

* The Emergency Simulation Course is a 4-hour course consisting of 3 simulations encompassing common and not so common medical emergencies that the OBGYN Hospitalist may encounter.  Participants will rotate through all 3 rooms.  Each room consists of 2 scenarios on the chosen topics (see below).   This is a hands-on participation course; comfortable attire is recommended. Developing teamwork and communication skills is emphasized rather than testing clinical knowledge (relevant algorithms and flow charts are provided in the rooms).   Pre-course review materials (our “inverted classroom”) on the topics serve as the lecture component and are sent out approximately a month prior to the course. Pre and posttests that focus on the learning objectives will also be sent.  This course is also recommended for SOGH members who are on or plan to join the SOGH Simulation Committee. 

SOGH Team Thrive – Peer Support Training  
Enid Rivera-Chiauzzi, MD & Sheila Hill, MD, SOGH Team Thrive Committee
In this interactive session, participants will explore the evidence supporting peer support, review best practices for conducting effective peer support encounters, and practice these skills in a structured, supportive environment. Following the session, participants may choose to apply their newly developed skills to become trained peer supporters within SOGH Team Thrive.

Skills Stations
Carrie Johson, MD & Gabriela Colon, MD – Workshop Facilitators
Join us at the ACM for our annual Skills Stations Workshop, a hands-on opportunity to review, refine, and expand essential obstetric skills. This year’s stations will include external cephalic version, manual rotation of the occiput posterior presentation, vaginal breech maneuvers (including internal podalic version), management of the impacted fetal head, and surgical control of obstetric hemorrhage.
We are also excited to expand our curriculum with new stations on hysteroscopic removal of retained products of conception, pudendal nerve blocks, diagnosis and management of uterine inversion, manual vacuum aspiration, and postpartum IUD insertion.
Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to enhance your clinical expertise, build confidence, and improve patient outcomes.

Coaching Clinicians to Communicate Effectively with Patients and Families After Adverse Events and Medical Errors
Leslie Carranza, MD
This 2.5-hour training workshop is designed to improve clinicians’ skills in effectively communicating with patients and families following adverse events and medical errors. The session will include practice scenarios involving adverse events and medical errors, feedback from trained coaches, and the use of support documents such as a Communication Tip Sheet and Coaching Guide.  The materials were developed from the PACT Collaborative (Institute of Healthcare Improvement, Ariadne Labs, and the Collaborative for Accountability and Improvement) and the Mayo Clinic.
Objectives of session:

• Improve Communication: Equip clinicians with the skills to communicate effectively after Adverse Events/Medical Errors.
• Practice Scenarios: Engage in simulated environments to practice and receive feedback (scenarios will include medication errors, missed radiologic diagnosis, lost surgical specimens)
• Use of Support Documents: Utilize the Tip Sheet and Coaching Guide for guidance

Sepsis Without Stress: An Interactive, Case-Based Workshop for OB Sepsis Management
Sara Abu-Tabikh, MD –
Sepsis is a worldwide healthcare problem. It affects 30 million people a year, is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, is the cause of 20% of US hospital admissions, it is the leading cause of hospital re-admissions and is a factor in > 50% of US hospital deaths! The in-house mortality for sepsis is 15%, it is 34% for septic shock, and sepsis is the cause of 13% of pregnancy-related deaths in the US. The goal of this interactive lecture is to review how to properly manage sepsis and septic shock both from an OB/GYN’s perspective in a hands-on, case-based workshop.
Learning Objectives:

1. Gain familiarity with the definitions & recommendations in the 2016 Surviving Sepsis Campaign, the 2018 One Hour Bundle Update, and the most recent 2021 Surviving Sepsis Campaign
2. Review the importance of fluid selection and management in septic patients
3. Integrate the new Surviving Sepsis Campaign into the OBGYN clinical practice
4. To get comfortable with walking through sepsis cases in a live decision-making format

Driving Consistency in Labor: IOL Blueprint – Safe, Timely, Evidence Based
Khyaati Modii, MD and April Herbst, MD
This session will explore how structured induction protocols, guided by the IOL (Induction of Labor) Blueprint, can transform obstetric care delivery. By moving beyond a checklist approach, the blueprint fosters collaboration among teams, ensuring standardized yet patient-centered practices. We will highlight evidence-based strategies that have led to measurable improvements in NTSV (Nulliparous, Term, Singleton, Vertex) cesarean rates, emphasizing how consistency in care processes enhances outcomes while maintaining flexibility for individualized patient needs. Attendees will gain practical insights into implementing these protocols to promote teamwork, reduce variability, and achieve sustainable quality improvements.

Learning Objectives: Explain the core components of the IOL Blueprint and its role in standardizing induction practices. Describe strategies for enhancing team collaboration during labor management. Identify how implementing the blueprint can reduce NTSV cesarean rates and improve maternal outcomes.
