In Colorado, Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) provide prenatal, birth, and postpartum care, along with newborn care and well person services. CPMs attend both home and birth center births, yet other maternal and infant care providers lack an understanding of their training, education and practice environment.  

When a community birth provider requires collaborative care at a hospital or with a physician, a smooth transfer of care benefits from an understanding of the practice environment of all providers involved (including paramedics/EMTs, emergency medicine providers, and maternal/newborn/infant providers).

This webinar is designed to provide a foundation of knowledge about the CPM credential for maternal and infant care providers who are unfamiliar with this type of provider.
