As faculty in two different midwifery education programs, we have stopped teaching the Caldwell–Moloy classifications of the female pelvis, as have faculty in several other US midwifery programs. In this commentary, we explain the rationale for this change. We review the roots of the Caldwell–Moloy pelvic classification and the lack of contemporary scientific support for either classifying pelvic types or using such a classification for clinical decision-making, and propose an alternative approach to teaching assessment of the bony pelvis.

助产课程非殖民化：抛弃考德威尔-莫洛伊骨盆类型


作为两个不同助产教育项目的教员，我们已经停止教授女性骨盆的考德威尔-莫洛伊分类，美国其他几个助产学项目的教员也是如此。在这篇评论中，我们解释了这一变化的理由。我们回顾了考德威尔-莫洛伊骨盆分类的根源，以及对骨盆类型分类或使用这种分类进行临床决策的当代科学支持的缺乏，并提出了一种教学评估骨盆的替代方法。
