Section outline

  • Ten learning modules have been designed to facilitate knowledge and skill acquisition for interprofessional maternity care providers who perform basic obstetric ultrasound in pregnancy:

    1. Indications for obstetric ultrasound
    2. Documentation, communication, liability and risk reduction strategies
    3. Ultrasound physics, equipment and optimizing image quality
    4. Normal 1st trimester ultrasound
    5. Abnormal 1st trimester ultrasound
    6. Limited 2nd and 3rd trimester ultrasound
    7. Fetal biophysical profile
    8. Second and third trimester fetal biometrics
    9. Use of obstetrical ultrasound on the labor and delivery ward
    10. Interprofessional obstetric ultrasound training and practice

    • Pre and Post-Tests

      Trainees must complete a required pre-test before beginning the modules. Pre-test scores are NOT important so please do not waste your time looking up answers; just respond to the questions based on your current obstetric ultrasound knowledge and skill or lack thereof. The pre-test scores will simply be compared to post-test scores in order to evaluate how effective the learning modules were.

      However, trainees must achieve a score of at least 80% on the mandatory post-test. You may not attend the seminar and hands-on skills labs without completing the prerequisite online learning modules and successfully completing the post-test beforehand.
