This course focuses on the basics of prenatal care: from establishing initial contact, taking a thorough client history, initiating ongoing prenatal care including both maternal and fetal evaluations, addressing common discomforts and physiological changes of pregnancy, and facilitating referral when indicated. With the midwifery model of care and an individualized approach, students will make charts for routine prenatal care, client handouts, and the NARM Informed Disclosure of Midwifery Practice. Case studies are utilized to demonstrate the application of clinical judgment and management within the scope of care of the Certified Professional Midwife.
