I am a CMA also. I did not need additional training for the OB tech position that I am currently in,other than the scrub tech part and that was tought to me by our own OR staff.

Hi, I am an OB tech also. Some of our duties include: scrub tech for C/S, set up for lady partsl deliveries, stock the labor rooms with the necessary supplies for a delivery and any emergency that may occur, break down delivery carts, assist with deliveries, set up for circumcisions, stock epidural carts, warmers, delivery tables, and cabinets. We do the hearing screenings on the NB's and the weights and Transcutaneous. bili's. We fold blankets and T-shirts and put them away. We also do secretarial duties including birth certificates. If need be we also set up our mist hoods for our RDS babies and handle the paper work for any babies that may need to be transferred out. I think what helps is that we are not over whelmed and we are able to perform our duties at our very best. What does not get done by me or another tech will be picked up by the ob tech on the next shift ect.. I hope this helps you.
