Simulation Course Descriptions
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). Precourse 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 post tests 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.
This year’s topics are:
- Molar Gestation to Hemorrhage
- Opioid Use Disorder to Obstetric Hypertensive Crisis
- Sepsis to Maternal Cardiac Arrest (BLS and ACLS are not required but may be helpful)
1. Molar Pregnancy with Hemorrhage
Preeti Jhaveri, MD & Sarah Weaver, MD – Scenario Facilitators
2. Opioid Use Disorder to Hypertensive Urgency/Pre-Eclampsisa
Jacob Kowenski, MD & Katelyn Yoder MD – Scenario Facilitators
3. Sepsis to Maternal Cardiac Arrest
Monique Katsuki, MD & Christy Pettes, MD – Scenario Facilitators
*Scenario descriptions coming soon
Participants will rotate through 3 stations to practice and strengthen their management of:
*Shoulder Dystocia
*Vacuum assisted vaginal delivery
*Forceps assisted vaginal delivery.
Registration is limited so all that participants will have ample opportunity for one on one instruction. This is a hands on skills workshop, comfortable attire is recommended.
Please join us to gain one-on-one hands-on experience in recognizing and resolving the obstetric emergency of shoulder dystocia. We use realistic simulators to give you the opportunity to find your own best method to navigate this often frightening event. By successfully completing the Shoulder Dystocia simulation course participants should be able to:
- List risk factors for shoulder dystocia while knowing that shoulder dystocia frequently occurs in the absence of these risk factors
- Communicate critical tasks that should be performed when this complication occurs
- Demonstrate proper technique for basic maneuvers (Posterior arm, posterior arm sling traction, Rubin, Woods Screw, Gaskin, Abdominal rescue, Zavanelli, Clavicular fracture) to relieve shoulder dystocia including when to use and risks associated with each
- Demonstrate how to effectively communicate with delivery team during a shoulder dystocia delivery remembering that the patient is a member of that team
- Recognize that a team debrief (including the patient) is a critical component of any shoulder dystocia that occurs
Afternoon Workshop Descriptions
Coaching 101: What to Know, What to Look For, How to Choose, and How to Map Your Plan
Margaret Dow, MD
Who is a coach? Who has a coach? Who WANTS a coach? Who wants to BECOME a coach? In this highly interactive session, we will discuss what coaching is all about and work together to craft clarifying questions about what we seek from coaching. We will hear from some SOGH members who are coaches about what they do. We will discuss some of the certifications and what they mean for coaches and coachees. We will work through some ways to measure your progress as you work with a coach. Finally, we will practice a couple of foundational elements of coaching that can be used in your everyday practice and in your life.
OB/GYN Hospitalists as Leaders in Patient Experience: Implementing TeamBirth
Monique Katsuki, MD Catherine Wilkins, MD Jennifer Eaton, MD
TeamBirth is an innovative shared decision-making model for labor and delivery developed by Ariadne Labs, a joint center for health systems innovation at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. TeamBirth has now been implemented in over 130 hospitals around the United States and in international sites. The TeamBirth model has consistently been shown to improve clinical outcomes and patient experience, and to reduce disparities in outcomes. In 2024 two Cleveland Clinic birthing centers joined the first national cohort for TeamBirth implementation. We will be providing background information on TeamBirth, outcomes data associated with the model, our experience with the implementation process, interactive practice opportunities to demonstrate how the model works, and an opportunity for Q&A with three Cleveland Clinic OB/Gyn Hospitalists who led the implementation process.
Skills Stations
Carrie Johnson, MD & Silvia Abularach, MD
Workshop Facilitators
This hands-on series includes stations dedicated to manual fetal rotations, vaginal breech maneuvers, operative vaginal delivery, managing the impacted fetal head, and controlling obstetric hemorrhage. This year, we are excited to introduce a new station focused on the repair of Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries (OASIS). Don’t miss this invaluable opportunity to advance your expertise and improve patient outcomes.
Scientific Session: Oral Abstracts
Amy VanBlaricom, MD & Jennifer Eaton, MD
SOGH Research Committee Co-Chairs
Our scientific session includes an oral abstract presentation in a breakout, as well as a poster reception Monday evening. This year there is a robust and varied list of topics researched, all of which cover information important to the day-to-day practice of OBGYN hospitalist medicine.
Train the Trainer
Julianne DeMartino, MD, Eileen Reardon, MD
This 4-hour course will prepare participants to run simulations at their own institutions. The basics of creating and running a simulation will be covered: from preparation to running the simulation to debriefing. The course also includes an overview of TeamSTEPPS. The first part of the course is composed of lectures then participants will divide into small groups to create and run a brief simulation. This course is now required for SOGH Simulation Committee members who want to become Simulation Facilitators.
Impact of an OB Hospitalist Program
Stacy Young, MD
In this session we will review the evolution of OB/GYN hospital medicine, discuss benefits of OB/GYN hospital medicine with respect to patient outcomes, patient and provider satisfaction, medical education, and financial impact on a hospital system. We will also discuss future directions of OB/GYN hospital medicine and have an interactive discussion with the audience.
Improving Community Birth Transfers – Let’s Work Together
Amy VanBlaricom, MD, Wendy Smith, MD, Melissa Denmark, LM
This session will discuss the current state of community births and hospital transfers which are on the rise due to elevated interest in the midwifery model of care. There will be an interactive discussion on how to solve for challenges with hospital transfers from planned community births. The basis of this discussion will be a description of a successful model of collaboration in the PNW (Smooth Transitions) and subsequent qualitative and quantitative data.
Advanced Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring
Sean Esplin, MD & Lexi Eller, MD
The advanced fetal heart rate monitoring course is designed to provide deep understanding of the pathophysiology of interpretation of the fetal heart rate during labor and to provide a framework for interpretation and intervention for concerning tracings. This is accomplished by review of the underlying physiology of fetal heart rate monitoring, evidence-based analysis, and interpretation including case reviews.
The objectives for this course are as follows:
- Participants will be able to estimate the rate of development of metabolic acidemia over the course of normal labor and delivery.
- Participants will understand the risk factors for the development of fetal asphyxia and approaches to management of difficult cases.
- Participants will understand most common obstacles or challenges to interpretation and intervention for category 2 tracings on labor and delivery.
