When you work in the midwifery industry, you always need to be learning. Research changes, and methods quickly become outdated. If you want to keep gaining clients while improving your practice, you have to dedicate yourself to constant studying. It can be overwhelming, but don’t worry. We’re here to help!
This is why we designed our course, Keeping Up with Midwifery Quality Standards. We’ll discuss how you can stay on top of the research, but we’ll also focus on how you can continue to keep the business side thriving. We’ll start out by discussing what it means to meet quality standards. We’ll go over the midwifery scope of practice, review current data, and go over risk reduction. You’ll feel prepared to tackle the business angles such as phone etiquette, patient intake process, office staffing, and contract drafting. We’ll also review legal defense tips.
