Family practice obstetrics is strongly influenced by demography and marketing. The falling birth rate is leading to a surplus of caregivers who may inappropriately apply their technical skills to a population of low-risk pregnant women. This in turn may lead to a 'cascade' of negative consequences for the normal, child-bearing public. The family practice accoucheur has a key role to play as an advocate of high quality, humanistic maternity care. Training programs must address the academic base of family practice obstetrics through direct teaching, role modelling, research, and quality assurance.
家庭医学产科受到人口统计学和市场营销的强烈影响。出生率下降导致医护人员过剩,他们可能会不适当地将其技术技能应用于低风险孕妇群体。这反过来又可能给正常生育的公众带来一系列负面后果。家庭医学产科医生在倡导高质量、人性化的产妇护理方面发挥着关键作用。培训计划必须通过直接教学、角色扮演、研究和质量保证来解决家庭医学产科的学术基础。
