SMFM’s Critical Care in Obstetrics Online Course is a web-based interactive program for learning pregnancy-specific physiology, medical and surgical management, and systems-based approaches to critical illnesses that can affect pregnancy.  This course makes use of contemporary learning modalities including online learning, self-assessment, and simulation. For each clinical topic, participants will engage in an online self-assessment that includes a pre-test quiz, a case study with questions, and a post-test quiz. 

The complete Critical Care in Obstetrics Online Course consists of a Comprehensive Bundle of 23 topics each offering 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for a total of 34.5 credits. Completion of all components and a score of 75% or greater on the post-test quiz within a topic are necessary for earning 1.5 CME credits. Smaller, themed bundles are also available. All bundles are also available without CME credit.

The expiration date for this course is January 17, 2024.
