Daphne Singingtree, CPM, and contributors Do you train midwives or teach apprentices? Then you need this important guide.
You'll start with an overview of midwifery education, past, present and future. This is followed by brief interviews with several midwives, who discuss their personal experiences as both apprentices and teachers.
Then you get to the meat of the book. You'll find forms, guides and tips, including a Self-Checklist, information about effective communication and a Preceptor Bill of Rights. You'll learn the qualities and responsibilities of a good preceptor, clinical teaching tips and how to work with difficult and challenging students.
The forms and checklists at the back of the book include a MANA Core Competencies Checklist, a Skill Mastery Checklist, a Birth Report and Prenatal and Postpartum Logs.
While designed to help preceptors improve their teaching skills, student midwives will also find this book a valuable addition to their midwifery library.
