Welcome Home participates in the training and nurturing of individuals interested in providing midwifery care to low-income communities. 

The Future Midwives branch of the Apprentice Program begins with an 8-week classroom training. This training is focused on bringing to our apprentices the clinical skills necessary for safely assisting at out-of-hospital births, and fulfills the legal requirement for Midwife Assistants at Welcome Home Midwifery Services. Topics covered in this intensive classroom training include:
  • Medical Terminology for Midwife Assistants
  • Information Collection and Documentation for Midwife Assistants
  • Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers
  • Neonatal Resuscitation for Out-of-Hospital Providers
  • Medication Administration for Out-of-Hospital Birth
  • Venipuncture for Midwife Assistants
  • Equipment Setup for Out-of-Hospital Birth
  • Immediate Newborn Care for Midwife Assistants
  • Immediate Postpartum Care for Midwife Assistants
  • Fetal Heart Auscultation for Midwife Assistants
  • Specimen Collection for Midwife Assistants
  • Emergency Skills for Out-of-Hospital Birth
  • Transfers of Care

Following the 8-week training, Apprentice Midwives attend at least 6 client cases (including 2 prenatal visits, the labor and birth, and 2 postpartum visits for each client) with one or more Licensed Midwives through the program year. Enrollment in a MEAC-accredited midwifery school is now required for this branch, and Apprentices also have the opportunity to have their clinical skills and experiences tested and signed off. Participants in the Future Midwife branch of the Apprentice Program also receive individualized mentoring on their path to midwifery certification.
