Postgraduate Program Report
Happy holiday season from the Postgraduate Program.
Innovation in Education: The third annual Obstetrical Skills Workshop for PGY1 residents was held on November 16th at the Western Centre for Public Health and Family Medicine. Residents learned how to perform many key obstetrical procedures including artificial rupture of membranes, application of scalp clips, performing a vaginal delivery, perineum repairs and knot-tying to name a few. This day was a tremendous success, and I would like to extend a big thank you to all of those involved in the planning of and teaching at this cutting edge simulation-based workshop.
The 20th annual Family Medicine Residents of Western Fall Forum Resident Retreat took place from November 25 - 27 in Grand Bend. The retreat was a huge success. Many thanks to all those involved in organizing this excellent event.
