Prepregnancy Carrier Screening
Prepregnancy Carrier Screening is organized by American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
Objectives
Prepregnancy Carrier Screening reviews the history, purpose, and timing of carrier screening. Current guidelines and recommendations by ACOG and other organizations are explained, and the unit discusses the difference between ethnicity-based versus expanded carrier screening.
By the end of this unit, participants should be able to:
• Explain the history of ethnicity-based carrier screening
• List current recommendations for prepregnancy screening
• Evaluate the option of expanded carrier screening
Physicians can purchase the eModule, access it at the link below, and receive CME credit once they achieve 80% or higher on the posttest.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
