5. Total Deliveries Each resident must perform a minimum of 40 deliveries over the 3- year program, of which a minimum of ten must be continuity deliveries. At least 30 of the total deliveries must be vaginal deliveries. Two residents may be given credit for the same delivery if one of those residents is supervising. The experience of each resident must be documented as to the role played in the delivery.

6. For the minimum of 10 continuity patient deliveries, each resident must assume responsibility for provision of antenatal, natal, and postnatal care during their three years of training. Whenever possible, these patients should be derived from the residents' panels of patients in the FMC. Where this is not possible, the continuity experiences may be met at other clinical sites with Appropriate supervision. A list of these patients must be available in the resident's file.
