This course reviews the indications for consultation, referral, and collaborative care according to F.S. 467, the Midwifery Practice Act. Students will explore the role of a Licensed Midwife as a member of a healthcare team while honing skills for communicating as a medical professional. Emphasis will be placed on applying risk assessment from 64 B24 Florida Administrative Code during prenatal, intrapartum and postpartum care to determine a site and provider for each client. Students will be prepared to interpret data to identify current and potential health problems and needs, establish a collaboration plan with a physician, and ensure clients’ safety and dignity during transport/transfer.
