Welcome to our midwifery program. The requirements for attending the program are simple yet profound.:
We ask that you bring a sense of integrity, flexibility, and responsibility to your studies and to your life as a midwife.
We ask that you agree to have your belief systems challenged during this program.
We ask that you be comfortable with our classroom as a laboratory for learning and practicing peacekeeping and conflict resolution.
We ask that you come willing to be immersed in life, birth and healing as a participant, rather than an observer.
After this program, if you wish, you would be ready for an apprenticeship or clinical internship. There are numerous and varied options in midwifery apprenticeship today. We can explore these and help you find one that is right for you.
