MW4107 Professional Issues Seminar: Social Difference and Implications in Midwifery Practice
This course helps to guide the student through raising awareness of one’s own conscious and unconscious beliefs and biases regarding those who are different from oneself, and to gain an understanding of how these beliefs and biases may impact how we see, interact with, and provide competent care for a variety of minority groups in the U.S. and Canada. Students explore some of the societal challenges faced by clients of various cultural groups as they embark on pregnancy, birth, parenthood and care of the newborn.
