Midwives on Missions of Service
MOMS Distance Learning Program (DLP) harmonizes with our mission. We provide
midwifery education to women who have little or no other access to education. We
are limiting new enrollments to people outside the United States. Even so, we
are using the standards set by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) to
guide the breadth and depth of the materials.
The program has two main sections, which are divided into subsections:
Academics
18 Modules consisting of 3-10 units each, plus a final examination
4 Collateral studies modules:
Doula Training (or equivalent)
La Leche League Series (or equivalent)
Preparing and Teaching Childbirth Education or Parenting Classes
Community Service Activities or Projects (100 hours)
Clinical
Skills workshops for basic and advanced skills
Clinical experience (aligned with the requirements set by NARM)
MOMS provides course materials for the modules, and references for the collateral
studies. MOMS hosts Skills Workshops periodically, or you can arrange to attend
sessions at conferences or other local sites. You also arrange for collateral studies
and clinical experience locally, while MOMS approves the preceptors and sites, and
monitors and advises you.
When you pay for a module, the MOMS emails you the course work. You complete
the material, one unit at a time, in sequence. You complete the unit's assignments,
then take the quiz monitored by a proctor who has been approved by MOMS.
You have 48 months to complete the modules, the first 3 collateral studies, and the
skills workshops. To do this, you must average about 2 units per month, plus the
skills workshops, and collateral studies. Each unit includes a significant amount of
reading, reflection or analysis papers, the creation of protocols and/or handouts, and
quizzes. You will use about 10 comprehensive texts, plus specialty texts. A
comprehensive final examination is the capstone activity. After you compete the
academics, you have 36 months to complete the community service and the clinical
experience.
You must have reliable Internet access, an email account, and a word processing
program - and know how to use them.
For more information, please email us.
