The Clinical Skills courses are a series of on-site skills labs and workshops, coordinated with Midwifery Care and Clinical Seminar course content. The objective of this course is to develop many of the skills, both hands-on and teaching, necessary to practice midwifery. Clinical Skills 1 builds on and amplifies some of the key skills first introduced in Well Woman Health and Assessment and covers aseptic technique, medication administration, pregnant abdominal exam, venipuncture, urinalysis and further practice in vital signs. Students are introduced to the fundamentals of being a birth assistant in addition to completing a full-day neonatal resuscitation program (NRP) certification.
