Midwife Management Practicum IV

This is the final clinical course of the midwifery program. Students have the challenge and opportunity to integrate knowledge and clinical skills learned separately during the previous basic courses. They do this in a practice setting that encompasses the full scope of midwifery practice. This course also provides the opportunity to assure the acquisition of all core competencies, with emphasis on cultural competence, evidencebased practice, and reduction in health disparities in order to achieve beginner midwifery competence by graduation. In addition, professional role development behaviors deriving from leadership and entrepreneurial and change agent knowledge and skills are reinforced or made tangible in planning on practice as a new graduate.
