National Midwifery Week, observed Oct. 5 through 11, is a time to celebrate and recognize midwives and the value of midwifery-led care. In honor of this occasion, Frontier Nursing University is offering four new continuing education (CE) sessions during its Empower virtual event. Each session is free to attend and provides one hour of CE credit through FNU.
FNU is hosting a live session on Tuesday, Oct. 7, at 2 p.m. EST, led by Luana Rodriguez, DNP, CNM, CCTP, FACNM, a Certified Nurse-Midwife, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and founder of Body and Soul Sovereignty United, a nonprofit advancing maternal health equity for women of color. Her presentation, “Two-Eyed Seeing: An Indigenous Knowledge Framework for Addressing Maternal Health Inequities,” will guide participants in evaluating a toolkit that integrates the Two-Eyed Seeing Indigenous Framework with western clinical practices to address inequities in maternal health.
Additional on-demand CE sessions include:
- “Collaborative Practice & Team-Based Care: Making It Work for You” – Catherine Collins-Fulea, DNP, CNM, FACNM, FAAN
- “Reproductive Grief Screening and Support Services in a Private Practice” – Abigail Prushansky, CNM, FNP-BC
- “The Worn-Out Midwife: Cultivating Resilience and Self-Care in Modern Midwifery Practice” – Linda McDaniel, DNP, MSN, CNM, FACNM, RNFA
The Empower virtual event is sponsored by The Midwife Plan, a division of World Insurance Associates LLC.
