I am a self study student from Texas. I cannot express how Midwifery Today
has made a difference in my education. As a student, I am on a limited budget,
and have been unable to afford a subscription, so I borrow any and
every MT I can get my hands on. This has become one of the single greatest
resources to my educational process. I am so grateful to all of the midwives
who have given their knowledge so that we can learn. I have truly learned
more from my devouring MT than any text on the market. I just read the latest
issue....and again you have done a brilliant job. I am almost finished with my
training and hope in the summer of 2001 to take my NARM exam. All of the articles
are from real midwives who do this every day, and if they write about it you
know it works. I can use it as a true frame of reference. Thank you so much.

Thank You, Midwifery Today
I really enjoy Midwifery Today and read it as soon as it arrives. I work
in a medically dominated hospital in England, so it is very refreshing to get
an alternative view from a global perspective. Fortunately, the hospital where
I work has a progressive head of midwifery who encourages midwives to work autonomously
and practice in midwife care schemes. It is not always possible to give the
care that women would ideally like when governed by procedures and protocols,
but we are striving to meet the needs of the women in our care by being more
flexible. Midwifery Today is an invaluable
journal for all midwives and students to guide them in their practice.
