[A DR. NICOLE FAVORITE] The Midwifery Model Of Care

This week’s episode is a rebroadcast all about midwifery care. It's a “Dr. Nicole Favorite” because the midwifery model of care is outstanding. All of us who work in maternal health should learn about it, implement midwifery care aspects into the care we provide, and you should look for these elements in the care you receive regardless of whether or not you have a midwife.I was initially inspired to do this episode after hearing Heidi (episode 119) talk about how her midwife worked so well with a physician in order to help her have a beautiful birth. I’ve been working with midwives since my residency training and currently work with midwives today. I fully support working collaboratively with midwives to help provide the best care for patients.So enjoy this Dr. Nicole's favorite episode all about midwifery!In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:What midwifery is and what values midwives upholdWhat makes each category of midwifery different: certified nurse midwives, certified midwives, and certified professional midwivesHow education and training varies across classificationsHow the scope of midwifery extends beyond pregnancy and birthWhether insurance covers midwiferyHow models of midwifery vary from state to stateWhat collaborative agreements are and how they can help or hinder the care midwives provideWhy it’s so important for physicians and midwives to work together--Full website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode120Check out The Birth Preparation CourseRegister for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right WayOur Sponsors:* Check out ByHeart and use my code DRNICOLE for a great deal: byheart.com/podcast* Download FamilyAlbum from the App Store today, and start creating a legacy of love one photo at a time. * Get $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies!
