The evidence-based Maternal Health Emergency Department Toolkit training consists of five educational modules including didactic information, case-based learning, and resources for additional reading and local implementation.

The modules focus on recommendations from the Illinois Maternal Mortality Review Committees (MMRC), triage and management of emergencies in perinatal patients, screening and treatment of mental health and substance use conditions, addressing trauma during pregnancy, performing resuscitation during pregnancy, and conducting safe and coordinated discharge of perinatal patients from the emergency department.

Those who complete the training can elect to receive 4 free Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits. CME credits are accepted by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and other professional accreditation organizations.
