Apprenticeship Mentorship Program
One of the most complicated matters you will face when becoming an out-of-hospital (OOH) midwife is navigating the apprenticeship.
Our program is here to provide accountability to both you as the apprentice and the preceptor, help you navigate through the many avenues and emotions of this world, provide discipleship and community along the way and to help you manage expectation, paperwork, and finish well without trauma or burn-out and be ready to step into your calling as a healthy and happy young midwife.
Your apprenticeship years are foundational for who you will become as a midwife and we want to help you learn, not only how to care for women, but also how to care for yourself.
Our program will:
Help connect you to vetted preceptors who have successfully helped midwifery students become competent, confident, healthy midwives
walk with you through the knee deep levels of paperwork
help you navigate the phases of NARM PEP process
provide a second skills sign off opportunity
provide study material to prepare you for the NARM exam
gives you access to our pastoral care team
and one-on-one access to an apprenticeship mentor.
provide you a step-by-step mentorship manual
01
How long does MOM take to complete?
This program is set to run alongside the PEP apprenticeship process. This program will take you a minimum of 24 months to complete and will most likely take 3 years or more.
02
Is this program MEAC accredited?
Not currently. Our students complete certification through the NARM PEP process. Most, but not all, states who recognize the CPM credential will accept the PEP process.
03
Do I have to be in an apprenticeship?
While we do recommend completing your academic program alongside the apprenticeship, we often have students who complete the academic portion prior to apprenticeship.
