 Challenger Cesarean Delivery

 

Challenger Fundamentals: Cesarean Delivery is a multimedia educational resource that teaches the principles and techniques of performing and assisting at cesarean delivery and tubal ligation. Although the procedure must ultimately be taught in the operating room, viewing high-quality DVD video of the standard technique and its variations is helpful to both new learners and more experienced physicians interested in improving their skills.

Challenger Fundamentals: Cesarean Delivery includes a 58-minute DVD video, narrated by Mark Deutchman, MD, covering the steps of cesarean delivery, major technique variations, tubal ligation, and instruments. A printed monograph and interactive CD-ROM accompany the video DVD.

Challenger Fundamentals: Cesarean Delivery is a two disc set, containing a video DVD covering all aspects of cesarean deliveries and an interactive course CD-ROM with Q & A assessing your comprehension and retention of the material.

Expand your Knowledge

Challenger Fundamentals: Cesarean Delivery consists of state-of-the-art clinical information in both the video presentation and the monograph; its 7 chapters cover 33 essential topics in cesarean delivery. Every physician practicing in a primary or acute care setting is an odds-on favorite to encounter complicated, if not life-threatening, obstetrical problems, some of which require surgical delivery. Physicians practicing in rural or underserved medical areas where they, for all practical purposes, serve as the local providers of women's health care, will find the program of unparalleled value. The 50 Questions and Answers included on the CD-ROM will also help in enhancing your mastery of the subject.
