- Course Description: This course prepares FNP/WHNP/CNM students, through competency in obstetric and gynecological procedures, to fully care for a women's health within the Military Health System (MHS) system and while deployed or on humanitarian missions.
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: Needed for new program/concentration/certificate
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? A dual FNP/WHNP certificate program offered at USF would need an advanced procedure course to meet practice demands upon graduation. Offering advanced procedures as part of the signature residency for DNP is unique to USF, increasing the attraction of USF over other state universities.
- Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? No
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) The instructor should be a WHNP, CNM with extensive experience in the procedures, ultrasound and surgical assisting.
- Objectives: At the conclusion of this course students will be able to:By the completion of the course, the student will be able to:
1. Identify common concepts in laboratory and other diagnostic studies including analytical and statistical components, technical concerns, and methodology
2. Select appropriate laboratory and other diagnostic studies relevant to the evaluation of the patient’s health situation with consideration to analytical and statistical components, technical concerns, and methodology.
3. Discuss results obtained from the laboratory and other diagnostic studies.
4. Conduct a basic ultrasound for amniotic fluid index, estimated fetal weight, placentation, bi-paretal diameters, and biophysical profile.
5. Interpretation of pertinent work-up, and documentation for dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
6. Identify work-up for sexual dysfunction.
7. Demonstrate endometrial biopsy.
8. Identify indications and interventions associated with antenatal fetal surveillance.
9. Demonstrate intrauterine device placement and removal.
10. Demonstrate word catheter placement, marsupialization of Bartholins Cyst, and indicated suturing.
11. Identify surgical instruments necessary for cesarean section and surgical management of ectopic pregnancy.
12. Demonstrate surgical assist steps using simulation model.
- Learning Outcomes: 1. Demonstrate competency of advanced skills within the simulation lab in preparation for Phase I-III for care of women across the lifespan.
2. Show professionalism through advanced nurse practitioner documentation of procedures within the Military Health System (MHS) Electronic Medical Record (EMR).
3. Develop therapeutic relationships and partnerships with patients and other professionals.
- Major Topics: Within the care of women, development of ultrasound skills for evaluating first trimester pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, and gynecologic needs will be introduced. Additional ultrasound skills for amniotic fluid index (AFI), estimating fetal weights (EFW), placentation, and bi-parietal diameters (BPD), biophysical profiles (BPP) will be surveyed. Surgical assisting for cesarean sections and laparoscopic procedures in the simulation lab will be introduced for follow-up demonstration in Phase I-III with competency for credentialing. Procedures include endometrial biopsy, intrauterine device placement and removal, word catheter placement, and external cephalic version (ECV). Case studies reviewing management of dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and sexual dysfunction, antenatal fetal surveillance will be included.

- Student Expectations/Requirements and Grading Policy: Laboratory Rotations
Students will attend all labs in designated scrub uniforms prepared for the skills lab of the day. Pretests will be completed, followed by instruction and finally practice session. Students will be participating in inter-professional teams working in the lab and simulation center. The final pass/fail demonstration will consist of a high stakes simulation case study requiring critical thinking, and communication skills. Passing of this simulation is required for completion of this course.

- Policy on Make-up Work: Attendance, Participation and Make-up
This course offers you different opportunities and modalities for learning. There are face-to-face laboratory sessions and web based learning experiences. Students are expected to attend and actively participate in all learning activities. Students are responsible for obtaining any notes or materials from missed classes from a fellow student. Faculty is not responsible for providing students material missed by an absence.
There is no “make up” for missed laboratory proficiency instruction. If you miss any of these scheduled events you will receive an unsatisfactory (U) for the course and you will not be able to successfully pass on to the next term.
Extreme situations will be considered on an individual basis and verified.
assignment submissions are subject to an automatic loss of 5% of the original points for the assignment. Failure to turn in an assignment within 3 days of the due date will result in a score of 0 (zero) for the assignment.
All assignments are due by the due date and time. If you have an extenuating circumstance, individual consideration will be determined by the faculty. You must contact the faculty no later than 24 hours before the due date to request an extension. Extensions for assignments will be granted on a case-by-case basis. You may contact your instructor by email to set up an appointment to discuss any problems that you have with assignments, learning activities and course work, in general. Do not wait until the semester is half done or almost done to report problems with the workload and your ability to keep up with it.
