Student Midwife Apprentice Program

Midwife Amy Engelhardt is committed to passing on, through supervised apprenticeship (student midwives), the tradition of midwifery to new generations of people eager to serve and assist families during their childbearing experience. Student midwives are enrolled in various academic programs, but must get their clinical experiences and training through working with a practicing midwife. 

 

Involvement in Care

Student midwives will be present at prenatal and postpartum visits. Student midwives will also attend births. Students will be completely supervised, with the midwife at their side during the prenatal period, labor, birth, and postpartum.

​

Clinical Training

The training that student midwives receive is very systematic; moving forward step by step in knowledge and skills. Once advanced and qualified enough for the level of responsibility to manage deliveries, students can be chosen as a primary (midwife)-under-supervision.
