FM 5448 - FAMILY CENTERED MATERNITY CARE

Minimum Credits: 0
Maximum Credits: 0
This elective is intended to offer medical students the opportunity to develop a wide view of family centered maternity care on a community basis. Through a series of inpatient and outpatient clinical experiences, directed readings, and a "mini-project," students will extend their understanding of integrated, interdisciplinary family centered maternity care; barriers to prenatal care; creative programs for reducing low birth weight infants; use of doulas, midwives and others in prenatal and intrapartum care; the role of health insurers in augmenting systems of prenatal care; and the abuse of detrimental drugs in pregnancy, such as alcohol, tobacco, and cocaine. The student will be evaluated by various faculty members and the course director based on oral examination of the knowledge of the readings, the "mini-project," and engagement in the topic.
