The SOGC (Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada) is thrilled to introduce its AVB Master Class, aimed at enhancing patient care and outcomes among obstetric care providers involved in forceps and vacuum-assisted vaginal births. This comprehensive course has been meticulously crafted to meet the demand for advanced education and training for obstetricians, rural family physicians, and senior residents proficient in various forms of assisted vaginal birth.
This one-day course combines practical hands-on sessions focused on all types of forceps (routine and rotational) and vacuum assisted birth, expert comprehensive assessment in second stage, manual rotation, and pudendal nerve block. Interactive discussion workshops will explore an evidence-based and pragmatic best practice approach to the second stage of labour including AVB indications, contraindications, risks, consent and debriefing.
