Despite efforts from many collaborating agencies and professional organizations, the maternal mortality rate in the United States continues to remain high. The Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) has designed a workshop to help nurses and providers identify, assess, and manage the care for women with specific obstetric emergencies such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, postpartum hemorrhage, and maternal sepsis. Nurses and providers working in perinatal, emergency, medical-surgical, ICU, and critical access departments will find this course essential to caring for women presenting with obstetric emergencies.
This full-day, instructor-led course also requires online prerequisite work prior to the in-person portion. AWHONN awards 10.75 continuing education hours for completion of this course. For more information, contact Lisa Engel at lengel@uams.edu.
