• Introduction and Objective Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) is an emergency obstetrics skills training program that was created by UW Department of Family Medicine faculty and is taught to thousands of resident and attending physicians and other clinicians annually in the US and actively in 50 other countries. The ALSO curriculum is being redesigned as a “flipped classroom” with pre-course, on-line learning and testing plus on-site workshops and discussions.  The objective of this study is to evaluate a June 2016 pilot of the course as compared to standard ALSO courses. • Methods Surveys and semi-structured interviews will be done with participants, faculty and local and national administrators to address content, web interface, course design, testing, and satisfaction with each course component.  This data will be qualitatively assessed and, when possible, compared with historical controls.  Individual multiple choice test items, practical skills test results and overall written test results will be compared with a historical control from standard ALSO courses. • Results and Conclusions The pilot is happening in June 2016, so Results and Conclusions are not available at this time.  The authors expect that the results of this study will be used to inform further flipped classroom development by the American Academy of Family Physicians and the local course directors and faculty who provide ALSO instruction.
