ALARM - Advances in Labour and Risk Management

A course for intra-partum and immediate postpartum care

In 2010, the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) and the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) collaborated to offer ALARM to their members.

The primary objective of the ALARM course is to evaluate, update, and maintain the competence of specialists, family physicians, midwives and nurses. Upon completion, participants will have the skills needed to improve the outcomes and processes of intra-partum and immediate postpartum care.

This two-day course offers case-based plenary sessions, hands-on workshops and a comprehensive examination process. The content of the course is evidence-based and incorporates the Canadian practice guidelines—so participants who complete the course gain an understanding of the most current clinical practices for providing care.
