Abstract

 Background: It is widely recognised that deficiencies in fetal surveillance practice continue to
 contribute significantly to the burden of adverse outcomes. This has prompted the development of
 evidence-based clinical practice guidelines by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of
 Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and an associated Fetal Surveillance Education Program to deliver
 the associated learning. This article describes initial steps in the validation of a corresponding
 multiple-choice assessment of the relevant educational outcomes through a combination of item
 response modelling and expert judgement.
