What about
"hands on" training?
It is
extremely important that you obtain practical training with an
experienced midwife before you take clients of your own. This
course was not designed as a substitute for actual birth experience.
An apprenticeship is vital to your education. (See Why Apprentice) If you have a preceptor
currently, you may want to consider our apprenticeship documentation
program, Preceptor Evaluation Program. If you do not have a preceptor,
we may be able to help you find a midwife willing to take an
apprentice. Opportunities often present themselves to dedicated
students long before they complete this course.
We are happy to help you in any way we can in this area, and
have incorporated assignments specifically designed to help with
this process.
There are several training facilities that can offer you intensive
experience in a clinic setting but this should not be considered
a substitute for an apprenticeship. It is crucial to become a
home birth midwife by being a home birth apprentice!
We recommend
that you attend workshops and conferences as well. Our Midwifery
SkillsLabs offer a safe environment for learning new skills and
attendance fulfills one of our optional requirements.
In addition to our Midwifery SkillsLabs, our Clinical Director
is launching a new field opportunity program which provides the
opportunity to travel and assist women all over the world.
