The CLEAR program consists of the following:

Lectures

The lectures listed below are available on line on video and handouts may be downloaded as Adobe PDF or Power Point.

• Lecture 1: Why Measure Cervical Length
• Lecture 2: How to Measure Cervical Length
• Lecture 3: The CLEAR Program

Cervical Length Education and Review (CLEAR) is an integrated web-based lecture, exam, and image review program designed to improve sonographic cervical length measurements.

CME credit is awarded upon completion of the entire program. Participants may choose to receive ACCME CME through joint providership with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) or CME through the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS). Completion of the program also provides credit for American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Part IV: Improvement un Medical Practice.

Examination

The CLEAR program includes an examination consisting of multiple choice and image-based questions. The participants must pass the examination with a score of 70%. A participant who fails the examination may retake it.

Cervical Image Quality Review

One or more batches of cervical length images taken by the participant are submitted. A batch of images must pass for the participant to complete the image review process. Initially a batch of five cervical length images from separate patients is required. The participant inputs specific information about each image online then submits the batch by upload or mail.

The images are reviewed by experienced reviewers and graded based on the nine criteria discussed in the CLEAR lectures and provided under IMAGE CRITERIA above. A second senior scorer reviews image batches that are borderline or failing. Reviewers provide specific comments and critiques on each image.

If the first batch of five images fails to pass the image review, additional batch submissions are required. The comments and critiques provided with each batch provide encouragement and assistance as participants master the sonographic techniques required to produce accurate cervical length measurements.
