Professional Development Webinars

Sharing Information and Engaging with CPMs and Stakeholders

 NACPM launched our first live webinars in the spring of 2014, beginning with a five-part series on the Affordable Care Act. Ever since, NACPM webinars continue to provide important relevant information and opportunities for discussion about practice, policy, innovations in education and association news for CPMs and stakeholders.

Webinar registration is free and open to the public, allowing for dynamic and inclusive conversation and learning opportunities for midwives, consumers and midwifery advocates.  CEUs are available at a nominal fee via our on-line system. All webinars, including the opportunity for CEUs, are archived for the convenience of those are not able to join us in person for the live event.

NACPM works with strategic partners in presenting these webinars series, including Citizens for Midwifery (CfM) and the Association for Midwifery Educators (AME).

We welcome and look forward to your participation!

Equity, Race and Access to Midwifery Webinar Series

This series will address the root causes of inequities in maternal and child health outcomes and examine the challenges of building a more representative midwifery workforce. Important research on the experiences of black midwives and students will be presented to inform our thinking about education and practice opportunities. National experts in public health and health policy, as well as midwives already making a difference in their own communities, will be featured. Action steps for the midwifery profession and for individual midwives on the ground will be explored as we more fully commit to increasing access to midwifery care for all childbearing people and increasing access for all aspiring midwives to the CPM profession.
