Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• The Perinatal Quality Foundation Fetal Monitoring Credentialing (PQF/FMC) Judgement

  The Perinatal Quality Foundation Fetal Monitoring Credentialing (PQF/FMC) exam measures judgement. The is exam is a 72 question computer based exam. There are 35 knowledge questions and 37 judgement questions. The scores for each section are reported as a percentage (maximum score = 100%). Knowledge and judgement questions have scores that are weighted based on exam key.

  Up to 6 months

Individual Performance

NO INTERVENTION

Each participant will first take the exam as an individual. After a delay of 3-6 months, participants will then be randomized to take the exam again either as an individual again (control group) or as a team (exposure group).

Group Performance

EXPERIMENTAL

Each participant will first take the exam as an individual. After a delay of 3-6 months, participants will then be randomized to take the exam again either as an individual again (control group) or as a team (exposure group).
