Dear Rachel,
Like you this is my first attempt at writing on this chat line however I
think it's going to become a regular event for me. Like you I was very
interested in Midwifery but didn't want to be a nurse. I found the Home
Midwifery Association 10 years ago and for 7 years I trained in a program
that the mothers and midwives of their community had developed and
implemented. This program allowed me to train as a direct entrant. Even
though they could not promise me registration they did promise to work
towards that goal with me and other women who took on the program.
Finally ten years down the track we are now hearing that direct entry is to
be an option in some form or another ie University programs based more than
likely obstetrically based.
This is however good news for our program. This is a break through for us.
You see I believe we have one of the best community based midwifery
programs ever developed.
I have taken on the job of having our program recognized. I would love to
talk to you some more. Also if you want some information about our program
please let me know.
See Ya
Dierdre Bowman.
