This study is looking at how a special training program for healthcare providers can improve care during labor and delivery. The training involves practicing cervical exams on high-fidelity silicone models. The goal is to see if this training helps reduce the number of cervical exams pregnant women receive during labor and makes the exams more consistent between different healthcare providers. Healthcare providers (doctors, midwives, and nurses) working in the Wake Forest Baptist Birth Center can join this study. Pregnant women receiving care at the same center can also participate, unless they have certain conditions like placenta previa or vasa previa. The study will measure how many practice sessions healthcare providers need to become skilled and how many exams patients receive before and after the training.
