About the Course
Midwives are not “alternative” care providers—we are primary care providers. As such, we have a professional and ethical responsibility to understand and use pharmacology wisely in our practice.
You need more than intuition. You need solid, practical knowledge of pharmacology.
In this 5-CEU course, Pharmacology for Midwives—a focused, midwife-led training that bridges the gap between clinical safety and holistic care, you’ll learn:
Core pharmacologic principles—absorption, metabolism, half-life, safety categories, and how they shift during pregnancy and lactation
A thorough review of key medications used in midwifery—including dosing, contraindications, and emergency use
How to integrate herbs, homeopathics, and supplements with clarity and caution
Tools for documentation, informed consent, consultation, and navigating scope across jurisdictions
Ethical, client-centered communication strategies for real-world care
Pharmacology is not separate from our holistic approach—it is an essential tool in our midwifery
