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:

1. Molar Gestation to Hemorrhage
2. Opioid Use Disorder to Obstetric Hypertensive Crisis
3. Sepsis to Maternal Cardiac Arrest  (BLS and ACLS are not required but may be helpful)

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
