Advances in Labour and Risk Management (ALARM)The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) single overriding objective of all is to improve the outcome and the process of intrapartum care. One way to achieve that objective is through our continuing education and the ALARM course is one means of that education. This course arose out of our work in the care of women in labour, their fetuses and newborns, and their families, and from our teaching in an attempt to improve that care. The course was developed, and is maintained and taught jointly by family physicians, obstetricians, midwives and nurses. It has had the administrative support and backing of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada. It is based on the best evidence we have about what works to improve care, and incorporates Canadian practice guidelines. This two-day comprehensive, offers case-based plenary sessions, hands-on workshops and a comprehensive examination process and is tailored to review, update and maintain competence in obstetrics for the specialists, the family physicians, the midwifes and the nurses by improving the outcome and process of intra-partum and immediate postpartum care. The course is limited to 40 participants with a faculty ratio of approximately five participants to one faculty member thus ensuring a highly interactive and educational course. For this reason, we recommend you to register early. Your course faculty hopes that the course helps you as we learn together to fulfill our privilege of providing intrapartum care. The Society gratefully acknowledges the generous support of:
