Full course description
ASM Block 3
Course Description: This course provides an understanding of how to use information from the client's health and reproductive history to assess the level of risk to the newborn. Fetal anomalies and problems at birth are examined to determine the impact they may have on the newborn.
This course uses current research in midwifery and obstetrics to broaden the student’s understanding of the NARM skills and MEAC essential competencies learned under clinical supervision.
