Full course description
ASM Block 4
Course Description: This course is designed to guide students through the basic principles of providing care during the inter-conception, pre-conception, and menopause. The course gives a thorough overview of topics that are relevant to a midwife providing gynecological care and a strong base upon which the student can develop their understanding of how this type of care fits into the scope of practice of a midwife. 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.
