Thanks to all who responded. 

We have now established a formal (previously ad-hoc with gp's who provided OBS cover) mentoring program with the obstetrician at our base hospital.

Additional training will include ALSO (or ALARM), NRP, STABLE, OBSTAT for all team members as/when available/affordable (eavh team member only has CDN$3k annually for education and airfares up here are outrageous). Most already NRP/ALARM.

Fly Safe.
