This app is written and intended for practicing clinicians like OB's, midwives, and family physicians; for resident physician trainees; for medical students; and for any others who are involved in pregnancy and labor care such as L&D nurses.  As an educator and clinician, I am interested in feedback and I would be grateful for guidance on improving the tool.
