The Relationship Between Midwifery Education and Midwifery Regulation, a Lively Conversation with Jessica from Pacific Birth Institute and Bethel, Chair of the Alaska Board of Certified Direct Entry Midwives

Midwifery for the People

Listen in on a recent conversation I had with midwives Jessica and Bethel! We talked about the difficulties of educating midwives, why we should focus on educating more awesome birth assistants then, how mandatory MEAC education is crippling Alaskan midwifery, and how Alaskan regulation is restricting women’s access to midwifery care. These two midwives are really lovely, passionate women and I had so much fun chatting with them. I think you’ll enjoy listening in on the conversation – tell me what you think! Maybe I’ll create more midwife shop talk episodes
