GOALS

I hope to continue steadily through midwifery school for the next few years. I plan to take full advantage of my current clinical placement at The Midwife's Kitchen in order to gain clinical hours and experience. My goal is to graduate from MCU in fall of 2024. After graduation and becoming certified it will almost be like a hand off of duties within my marriage as my husband has always worked and I have mainly been a stay at home mom. I have a goal to return back to the Philippines within that time frame several times to volunteer at a birth clinic at KIDS international ministries.

Midwives College Of Utah

The MCU distance-education curriculum and community-based clinical placement are firmly grounded in the unique and profound power of the Midwives Model of Care™ (MMoC). We believe the MMOC is a primary pathway for improving outcomes and eliminating inequities for childbearing persons and babies during the childbearing year. Midwives College of Utah fulfills its mission by meeting the following institutional goals:

  • offering a bachelor’s degree to prepare individuals for career opportunities to practice as direct-entry midwives providing primary care to childbearing persons and babies;

  • offering a master’s degree to prepare individuals to be midwifery leaders in the birthing care landscape;

  • delivering curriculum core competencies and student support services that supply opportunities to acquire knowledge, skills, and philosophical approaches. This education is organized within five broad interrelated categories:

    • Specialized Knowledge

    • Broad and Integrative Knowledge

    • Intellectual Skills

    • Applied and Collaborative Learning

    • Civic and Global Learning;

  • nurturing a culture of collaboration as we continually strive to advance equity, access, and social justice at MCU and in the midwifery profession; and

  • creating opportunities for students to effect global social change through the development and application of leadership skills.

​

Bachelor’s Degree Program Goals

​

Preamble: The MCU undergraduate program offers a Bachelor of Science in Midwifery (BSM) degree. The BSM program provides a general education and prepares graduates to become a knowledgeable, skilled and independent Certified Professional Midwife who specializes in community birth settings.  BSM graduates will have knowledge of and proficiency in MEAC’s Curriculum Checklist of Essential Competencies, which includes the internationally recognized core competencies and guiding principles set forth by the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) in addition to requirements for national certification of the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) and the core competencies of Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA).  MEAC’s accreditation criteria for midwifery education programs reflect the unique components and philosophy of the Midwives Model of Care.
