PGCert in Pendidikan Profesi Bidan

The Midwife Professional programme at Musi Charitas Catholic University in Palembang trains graduates of undergraduate midwifery to practise as fully qualified midwives who are compassionate and strong in health promotion for women, with sensitivity to culture. The department carries out research and community service in women's health and works with partners to support its academic strengths and the three pillars of higher education. Graduate roles include practising midwife, educator and counsellor, community mobiliser and service manager. Midwives are expected to make independent, critical and ethical decisions across levels of care and to lead behaviour change and women's empowerment. The programme is shown next to the nurse professional programme under the professional category, and it forms the final stage of the midwifery route offered by the university.
