Background: Duty hours and workload make the labor and delivery
unit a difficult environment to achieve a structured learning curriculum. It
has been identified as an area where resident education is lacking and provides
an opportunity for implementing a formal education component.
Methods: The curriculum was implemented at the University of
Colorado and University of Oklahoma. It consisted of 6 modules covering the
following topics: multiple gestation, PPH, PPROM, PTL, short cervix/cerclage,
and IUFD. All modules could be accessed through Dropbox, which included a link
to podcasts, reading materials and case discussions. Case discussions were led
each week on L&D with a faculty member or MFM fellow. Outcomes measured
included resident and faculty satisfaction and resident knowledge acquisition.
Results: Pre and post surveys of residents and faculty showed
an overall positive response to the new curriculum. Resident surveys indicated
that they acquired new knowledge through the curriculum. Faculty surveys
demonstrated a positive response for enhancing L&D education and improving
access to learning materials.
