The Center for Experiential Learning and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Quillen College of Medicine, East Tennessee State University proudly invite you to the first web based video tutorial on the management of shoulder dystocia (SD). This site is designed for all health care professionals committed to improving fetal-maternal health.

At this site, you will learn from a schematic and video based tutorial demonstrating the principles for the management of shoulder dystocia, as well as learn about the background and implications for this potentially devastating complication. After you have completed the tutorial, you may quiz yourself over the material presented and learn how to institute drills for shoulder dystocia at your institution.

Soon to be added to this site will be CME credits for successful completion of the tutorial.
