Community based Intermittent Auscultation
For Midwives, Nurses, and Birth Assistants- Register for the next LIVE VIRTUAL course December 16, 2026 1100-1500 EST
Intermittent Auscultation: This 4-hour LIVE VIRTUAL course goes beyond technique and theory! Participants will practice assessment, interpretation, communication and documentation skills.
Our “technique” is based on the Consensus Guidelines for Intermittent Auscultation in United States Community Birth Settings (2025). Starting at that point, we will dive into clinical judgement, ethical dilemmas, and transfer challenges.
This course is ideal for team attendance (2 people side by side) though you are welcome to sign up as an individual.
This course is NOT recorded. It will be scheduled quarterly on our calendar but can be booked by a host with preferred dates.
You must be able to attend the live session to purchase this course. We will cap attendance at 16 learners.
If this date does not work and you have a group of at least 6 who would like to attend, please reach out to schedule a group session.
This course can be an add-on to any of our full day in-person courses (prior day or day after).
