Training for cervical exams in labor and delivery care
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a structured training program helps healthcare staff perform cervical exams more effectively during labor. It may improve how labor and delivery care is delivered at the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a pregnant person receiving care in the Labor and Delivery unit at the Wake Forest Baptist Birth Center.
- You must not have placenta previa (when the placenta covers the cervix).
- You must not have vasa previa (when blood vessels cross near the cervix).
- You must not have any other situation where a cervical exam is not considered safe for you.
- If you are a staff member (doctor, midwife, or labor and delivery nurse), you work in the Labor and Delivery unit at the Wake Forest Baptist Birth Center.

This study offers a hands-on practice session for labor and delivery to help first-time mothers feel more prepared and confident. It uses simulation to show what to expect during childbirth.
This study looks at different care pathways to help lower the risk of preterm birth (birth too early). It will follow pregnant people with a singleton pregnancy to see which approaches may work best for preventing early delivery.
This study tests whether a mixed reality (combining real and virtual) training tool can help midwifery students learn how to check cervical dilation and effacement during labor. It's for students who are also pregnant women in early labor and want to improve their skills.
This trial tests a simulation-based training program for healthcare workers to improve skills in immediate newborn care. Participating may help you gain practical experience and confidence in handling newborns right after birth.
This study teaches midwives hands-on childbirth skills using practice mannequins and realistic scenarios. It aims to see if this training improves how well midwives care for pregnant patients and handle labor complications.
This trial tests whether training hospital staff on better delivery techniques can reduce the risk of accidental bowel leakage (anal incontinence) in women who give birth vaginally. If you had a vaginal birth at this hospital during the study period, you may be eligible.
