Course Programs in Midwifery

High school graduates who want to prepare for a career may opt to take a course program. Courses range in duration from a few months to several years, and they offer an intensive educational experience for students who want to learn a subject quickly.

What is a course in midwifery? This educational program concentrates on skills and knowledge needed to assist or oversee births. There will be an emphasis on biology, sociology, and psychology as students learn to provide prenatal care and delivery assistance to women. The course will combine classroom instruction with hands-on clinical training overseen by instructors.  Some students may go on to earn a higher degree in this field to increase their earning potential and have greater responsibility.

Students who wish to pursue a midwifery course will learn more than the technical skills to provide care and birthing support to pregnant women. They will also develop skills like problem-solving, time management, organization, attention to detail, compassion, and interpersonal abilities, all of which are valuable in any workplace.

Midwifery courses can be found all around the world at universities, community colleges, trade schools, hospital programs, and online learning institutions.  Costs can vary by program and institution, so it is best to contact the school’s admissions office for more information about expenses.

After taking a midwifery course, students are prepared to work as midwives or midwife assistants in medical settings such as private offices, public health care facilities, hospitals, clinics, and in the community. Work may include monitoring the health of the mother and unborn child up to delivery. Midwives may also provide aftercare for newborn babies. Some students choose to earn a higher degree in order to further a career or become a midwife instructor in an academic setting.
