First, Do No Harm: Does the Field of OB Need a Qualification System to Safeguard the Use of Teaching Interventions?

A foundational principle of many clinical professions is to ensure that whatever the intervention or procedure, the recipient's well-being is the practitioner's primary consideration. In OB and management education, examples abound of potentially beneficial yet risky teaching practices. However, we pay little systematic attention to these possible risks. We instead leave things up to individual instructors to figure out. The net collective effect is that we often unwittingly put students at risk. This proposed roundtable will explore whether our teaching discipline would benefit from a user qualification system for teaching practices that safeguard their use and benefit students.
