Happy New Years AME members!
To start the New Year off right, and for a limited time, AME is discounting our online professional development courses–Preceptor as Educator and Best Practices. These courses were developed specifically with you in mind, the teachers of our future midwives. Most of you became midwives to serve childbearing families, offering excellent, personalized and sensitive care and then, one day you are asked to be a teacher. Whether you are in the classroom or the clinic room the job of teacher is never easy and in fact it is sometimes more work to teach a student how to do what you do. AME recognizes your work and in an effort to offer you support and to help the MEAC accredited schools meet the requirements of accreditation, AME put together two series of modules for professional development and as a gift to our community we are offering a steep discount for AME members now through the end of March. (Not a member yet? No problem! There is a big button to your right. Just click on Join AME!)
