Reclaiming physiologic skills! 🙌🙌

We are thrilled to announce that Rixa Freeze's Project ECHO lecture is now available for free! It is titled "Vaginal breech birth: Why it's important and how it works" and was sponsored by the University of Utah. To access the lecture: https://breech.thinkific.com/courses/why-how-eng

This is a great introduction to vaginal breech birth for both parents and providers. It explains why vaginal breech training is important and then shows the normal steps of physiological breech birth, including deviations from each step.

At the end of the lecture, Dr. Freeze answers audience questions. A resident also presents a case study, and we hear responses from BWB's David Hayes and Kristine Lauria.

Nursing is a journey of discovery, a quest to understand the human experience. It's the art of active participation, of being present in the moment, and of making a difference, one patient at a time.
