Community Birth Apprenticeship and Student Experience

 

 

We bring safe maternity care training into the homes of students across the world who are the next generation of home and birth center providers.

Right now, the United States is one of the wealthiest countries and yet it has some of the worst maternal and neonatal outcomes in the developed world. At the Pacific Birth Institute, we are committed to reducing the impact of the maternal mortality and physician crises on families by training the future community nurse and professional midwives and birth assistants in the safe and evidence-informed routine and complication care management of community birth now. 

From the Founders Jessica Johnston CPM and Jennifer Hoadley CNM

It is our mission to reduce mortality in birth in the USA by championing the training and education of 100,000 Professional Birth Assistants (Pro BAs) by 2050 to safely welcome the influx of families choosing to give birth out of the hospital, with midwives at home and in birth centers. Midwives need birth assistants like OBs need nurses, and we are very happy to help scholarship and educate and train the next generation of birth assistants and midwives today so that we can say in 25-30 years that we did something to be a part of the change we needed to see to keep our craft, the sacred lineage of midwifery, alive and well and in the hands of the people who need it most.
