This course addresses principles of fetal heart monitoring and may be used as a knowledge assessment tool to validate comprehension of experienced perinatal clinicians.
This course includes lecture, hands-on skill stations including performing Leopold maneuvers, placement of an intrauterine pressure catheter and fetal spiral electrode, interpretation of fetal monitoring tracings using a case-based approach, identification of physiologically based clinical interventions, and communication and risk management principles. Online prerequisite education is required prior to attending the one-day course. Successful completion of the online knowledge validation test is required to receive CNE/CME for the course. This course can be used to support preparation for certification examinations.
There is a recommended renewal date every two years for the Intermediate Fetal Monitoring Course.
- Overarching goal is to provide common foundation of knowledge and skills relating to FHM.
- Recognizes that clinicians’ knowledge, experiences, and skills differ.
- Patient safety promoted when all clinicians use standardized terminology.
CNE/CME contact hours: 11.5/11.5 available through January 31, 2028 (0.5 hours may be used towards pharmacology hours).
