BA/BS in Midwifery

The Midwifery major at Iida Junior College trains midwives who can support women through the stages of life. Students assist with at least nine births under a midwife's guidance and follow each case through to discharge. A continuity case is followed from pregnancy through to the one-month check-up, which helps build trust with the client and the judgement that midwifery needs. Because the group is small, each student reliably gains experience in delivery assistance and health guidance and works with peers as a team. Midwifery research is also studied to encourage lifelong learning. The qualifications listed are eligibility for the midwife national examination, eligibility to apply for neonatal resuscitation (NCPR) specialist course A certification and the conception control practical instructor qualification.
