Expected Level of Learner/Intended Audience
This course assumes that the learner has previously completed entry-level/basic fetal monitoring education. It is designed for perinatal clinicians who utilize fetal heart monitoring in the intrapartum setting.
Caution, this course is not for unlicensed students or new grads. Likewise, clinicians with limited intrapartum care may require additional clinical experience to gain the required knowledge base.
In contrast, experienced obstetrical providers may consider AWHONN Advanced Fetal Heart Monitoring.
