Unfortunately this ship has sailed. I fortunately was well trained in the skills and judgement required to use forceps in my training. That was an era when there were skilled mentors and the volume of patients required to develop a confidence using forceps and delivering breeches. As I was nearing the end of my obstetrical career it became obvious that new graduates were not being exposed to operative obstetrics. I recall doing a forceps rotation for one of my new colleagues who had not seen a forceps rotation during 4 years of training.
As a retired physician I would be willing to offer my expertise to try to reverse this trend but doubt if I would be invited to do so. One of my most skilled mentors was asked to give a lecture to residents on forceps deliveries. Many of those residents walked out of that lecture saying they would never be comfortable doing operative obstetrics so why stay. It is a sad state of affairs especially with the risks associated with Caesarian sections. Very sad indeed.
