Do the Birth Emergency Skills Training® 3-step...
Step 1:
Complete BEST ONLINE (16 hours of presentations and videos).
By transferring the lecture portion of the former 2-day workshop into an easy-to-use accessible online program, we are able to provide more information than ever before in an easy to use and assimilate format. In this way, you can move at your own pace and repeat lessons as desired so you will be well-prepared to hone your skills in the hands-on practicum.
Step 2:
Register for and attend a 8 hour Birth Emergency Skills Training® (BEST LIVE) workshop.
Practice with models. Learn new techniques with instructor facilitated skills stations. Train your hands and build muscle memory. Work through simulations and drills with humor and camaraderie. Return home with your skilled hands, prepared to give your B.E.S.T. to the women and babies you serve.
Step 3:
FOLLOWING the BEST/LIVE workshop, complete the POST workshop evaluation form in BEST ONLINE program and your certificate will be provided by email to you for printing and record keeping within the week.
