Vaginal Breech Training

We offer a vaginal breech workshop with three parts:

1. A full day of hands-on training with Dr. Hayes, Dr. Freeze, and/or Kristine Lauria, CPM. This includes 1 hour of demonstrations, 4 hours of simulation training with the instructors, and 4 hours of activity stations (breech birth video analysis and clinical scenarios). 
2. Breech Pro, an online vaginal breech training course covering all of the material in our 2-day breech workshop. 
3. 1 year of twice-monthly live sessions (recordings also available) for ongoing mentorship.

In Australia and New Zealand, our breech workshop has been approved for up to 24 continuing education/CPD hours by the ACM and Midwifery Council. Participants can self-claim RANZCOG CMEs. 

In the USA, it is currently approved for 14.5 ACNM CEs for Breech Pro plus 9 CEs for the hands-on day. 

I already took a breech workshop.
Can I come just for the hands-on training?

Yes! All of our full-day workshops allow you to attend with an alum discount, provided you have taken Breech Pro in the past. If your Breech Pro subscription has expired, you can renew it for just $50 USD. 

Those who have previously taken an in-person workshop (pre-Covid) will need to re-enroll in the full workshop package. 

Do you offer certification in breech birth?

BWB does not offer formal certifications beyond certificates of attendance and continuing education credits. We encourage you to list the trainings you have attended and claim CE/CME credits where available. You are welcome to state that you have trained with BWB. However, you cannot state that you are "certified" by BWB.
