Outline for teaching complications and procedures very fast with Childbirth Graphics slides.How can you teach these difficult topics most efficiently? How can you help your clients gain the familiarity they need without getting bogged down in details? This is my outline, which enables me to cover this material quite adequately (and fairly cheerfully) in less than one hour. Not every topic has a corresponding slide, but the slides keep things moving, and they save you a lot of verbal description.
