The advanced life support in obstetrics course as an orientation tool for obstetrics and gynecology residents.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:This study was undertaken to assess the utility of the Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics Course for obstetrics/gynecology first-year residents by triangulating pretest and posttest scores on written test of knowledge by interns, with qualitative surveys by residents, and faculty. STUDY DESIGN:Obstetrics/gynecology interns took a quantitative pretest and posttest on obstetric emergencies. These postgraduate first-year residents were also surveyed about their qualitative expectations about the course in advance and about their evaluation of the course after course completion. RESULTS:Nine postgraduate first year residents took the Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics course and participated in this study on June 2005. Postgraduate first year residents demonstrated an increase of 31% between mean pretest and posttest scores. Postgraduate first year residents found the course to be a good, hands-on practical review of common obstetric problems. Obstetrics/gynecology faculty and residents agreed that the course was useful hands tool for orientation. CONCLUSION:Advanced Life Support Obstetrics course is an effective educational tool during orientation for obstetrics/gynecology residents.
