Informed Consent for Ob-Gyn's

Target Population: Obstetrics physicians and nurses Objectives: The The objective of this obstetrics training course is to improve physicians-patient communication skills in discussing gynecological and obstetrics issues, and to obtain informed consent. Course Description: Participants encounter simulated patients (actors) or their immediate family in obstetrics simulation scenarios focusing on how to communicate with patients and obtain an informed consent for a gynecological or obstetrics procedure.  Trainees also learn obstetrics crisis management issues. Colleagues and debriefing facilitators observe the encounters through one-way glass panels, and audiovisual recordings are made for the debriefing sessions.  On completion of the encounters, the recorded encounter is watched and discussed in the debriefing session, and participants receive feedback from the simulated patient, colleagues and debriefing facilitators.
