“As an educator of family medicine residents, I found ALSO extremely helpful. The sections are clearly presented and cover all the important topics in maternity care. Every delivering health care provider should take the ALSO course.”

"Shoulder dystocia is just about the scariest thing I see in my life as a physician. ALSO's HELPERR mnemonic has helped me through some tough situations. Regular review of it keeps me prepared."

"ALSO provided a cognitive framework to focus my obstetrics experience. It has honed my skills, even the ones I use infrequently, like forceps. In short, it restored my joy in the practice of obstetrics. It is the biggest single reason why I am still doing OB today."
