At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

1. Describe how to engage leadership in establishment of a new service line.
2. Define the infrastructure components necessary for implementing a postpartum perineal clinic.
3. Describe essential components of clinical workflow of a postpartum perineal clinic.
