BACKGROUND: Delivery of a breech baby with the mother in an upright position or on all fours has gained a renewed interest. In these positions, the obstetrician or midwife needs to learn new landmarks and maneuvers. A realistic simulation model would be a valuable adjunct for breech on all fours teaching programs.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This article describes the simulation model and training program we have developed to train an interprofessional team to assist breech births when the mother is on all fours. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the realism of the adapted mannequin and the impact of training on the confidence level of the participants.

RESULTS: On a Likert scale of 1 to 5, 92% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the adapted mannequin used was realistic for training obstetric maneuvers for complicated breech births. After training, their confidence level supporting a breech birth in an upright position rose from an average of 2.5 to 5.7 on a scale of 1 to 10.

CONCLUSION: Learning the skills for breech deliveries on all fours is made possible by targeted training with this adapted simulation model.
