In this educational session, participants will engage in a team building exercise focused on interprofessional communication strategies. They will rotate through two breakout skills stations: normal labor assessment and delivery of a fetus to include AMTSL and another on neonatal resuscitation which emphasizes the golden minute of newborn care and BLS resuscitation. Finally participants will take part in two medical simulations, one involving the management of a term field delivery and the other a preterm field delivery.
