The programme prepares midwives to provide outpatient care for pregnant women, women in labour, and gynaecological patients, working either independently or with an obstetrician-gynaecologist when perinatal risk is high. Learning outcomes include conducting antenatal screening and initial consultations, supporting the normal progress of labour in partnership with the woman and her birth preferences, and keeping mother and baby together afterwards. Students learn to perform and assist with instrumental examinations, calculate and administer medicinal products safely, and manage surgical wound care, as well as to organise family planning and parenting education and to support the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding with attention to social and cultural factors. The curriculum also covers recognising and responding to life-threatening conditions for mother or newborn and identifying emotional or mental disturbances that can occur after childbirth, alongside developing research, mentoring, and teamwork skills for collaborating with other health professionals in more than one language, including Lithuanian.
