Fetal monitoring competencies


Does your unit require you to take the AWHONN Intermediate Fetal Monitoring course every 2 years in order to be deemed 'competent' in fetal monitoring? If you have taken the Intermediate course in the past 2 years, are you able to take the online competency assessment test offered on the AWHONN site in place of the Intermediate course? What other competencies are you required to validate, how often (every 1 or 2 years) and how do you do it?

Default Re: Fetal monitoring competencies
I require the intermediate course initially and then I had everyone do the AWHONN advanced course for 2 years straight (it is a tough course, lots of information). Starting this year I am having them do the the online competency. I also created a NICHD competency and I do quarterly strip reviews. I think after this year I will do a yearly SLP and focus on specific issues in EFM. Don't know yet. Hope this helps.
