About the Course
Modern midwifery relies on technology—but navigating that technology with confidence can feel intimidating. Even with training, the reality of documenting, communicating, and making decisions with digital tools can feel overwhelming. The Machine isn’t the enemy—burnout is. And learning to partner with technology is essential for sustainable practice.
You need more than instructions. You need clear, practical guidance that helps you use tech in a way that protects your time, your energy, and your clients.
In this 3-CEU course, Midwife & the Machine—a focused, midwife-led e-course—you’ll learn:
How to use digital tools to streamline care, reduce duplication, and support safer, clearer clinical decision-making
Essential skills for managing electronic communication, charting, documentation, and time-saving workflows
Practical strategies to prevent information overload, reduce stress, and build sustainable habits around tech use
Tools to help you work with technology—not against it—so you can focus your energy on the part of midwifery that matters most: caring for families.
Technology won’t replace your judgment—but it can support your clarity, boundaries, and sustainability. This course will help you integrate it with confidence and ease.
