​"A birth assistant is like an intuitive second set of hands."

"I’ve attended 7 births with a midwife preceptor; one of those resulted in a slow to transition baby. I had no formal assisting training apart from NNR. I fumbled a bit, thankfully not a detrimental impact. This course affirmed that I did so many things very well and that the fumble was a lack of practice rather than a deficiency in myself as a competent birth worker. My favorite part of all the classes, aside from the excellent scope and presentation, is the acknowledgement of how much an assistant does do, how many tasks must be done almost simultaneously. That, also, is very affirming". ~A. Iker

"The Birth Assistants Basics course was an excellent adjunct to my education at MCU. I decided to enroll in the course while I was taking the Birth Assistant class at MCU because I wanted the hands on experience that MCU is lacking. I learned so much during my weekend with Micki and Chelsea, and felt it was so worth the extra investment. I began my first clinical placement shortly after taking the course and felt so well prepared. I was able to start my first day already familiar with the supplies, equipment, basic charting and with basic emergency procedures in the role of assistant. I was also able to feel confident my first day  taking blood pressures, pulse, temperature and drawing up medications. This class was invaluable to me, as well as to the midwives who’s practice I joined. Added to all that, Micki and Chelsea are warm, knowledgable instructors. They did an excellent job of fitting a lot of information into the weekend while keeping it interesting and fun!"
