Introduction
The 成人VR视频 Maternal Child enhanced Skills Program is a six-month clinical residency aimed at providing additional experience to trainees committed to including family medicine obstetrics and newborn care in their practice. The program allows family doctors to enhance their obstetrical skills and knowledge so that they are both confident and competent in the management of family practice obstetrical patients. The program has defined goals and objectives, however, it is flexible and self鈥恉irected in order to provide the trainee with an opportunity to tailor the program to meet their self-identified learning needs and career goals.
