COURSE PURPOSE & OVERVIEW: This course, in conjunction with Foundations of Prenatal Care II, is designed to give a student the basic knowledge and skills needed to provide competent prenatal care as a direct entry midwife. In this course, you will create practice documents and client handouts to correspond with education provided during routine prenatal care, and learn to manage basic prenatal conditions. The “quizzes” are open-book and designed to support your understanding of the readings. Case studies provide an opportunity to apply your learnings to clinical situations.
