Scholarship to ACNM Conference for SNM

Hi there! My name is Kathryn, I am a Nor-Cal grown WHNP/CNM student at Georgetown University, about to start my last semester! I am in search of a CNM preceptor for my integration semester. Integration lasts 14 weeks and requires 40 hours/week in full scope midwifery practice. I am currently scheduled for January 15 - April 15 2020. I do appreciate the fact that this is a very last minute ask, so there is certainly some room for flexibility in those dates! While it would certainly be ideal to finish “on time”, my priority is finding a site where I can learn from midwifes I hope to collaborate with some day. Finding placement in CA is a challenge, I would gladly consider any opportunities throughout 2020. I have been fortunate to have absolutely wonderful clinical experiences throughout CA for all of 2019. I spent time at a birth center in Sonora, focused on gynecology and prenatal care in busy outpatient clinics in Yuba City and Marysville, and just wrapped up my time with an amazing team of midwives and physicians in Humboldt County for my intrapartum rotation. I had 11 births last semester and need a minimum of 14 more births to finish, but of course the more the merrier- I want to get as much experience as possible! I am currently located in Placerville (between South Lake Tahoe and Sacramento). I am more than happy to travel throughout the state. I have worked as an RN in a Women's Health/Family Medicine Clinic in Mammoth Lakes for the past two years. I am passionate about reproductive health care, patient education and autonomy, and of course delivering all these beautiful babies! I spend most of my free time enjoying the outdoors. After graduation I hope to remain a part of the California midwife network. Eventually, I would love to bring my practice back to my small hometown and serve the families of my community, a place that midwifery is underrepresented and options for care are limited. Below is the link to my resume—https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QyC0imbhSx_d9iWQb2iRgzdUXvxF6GWG/view?usp=sharing I would love a chance to speak with you all and I am open to any suggestions you may have! I am also more than happy to come meet in person. You can contact me via email at kathrynwilson@live.com or by phone at (916) 832-9218. You can also learn a little more about me on my facebook @kathrynewilson or Instagram @k8.thryn Thank you for your time!

PROJECT The American College of Nurse-Midwives is in its fourth year of a multi-state, multi-hospital initiative aimed at reducing primary cesarean births in low risk women through the support of physiologic labor and birth.

Hospitals selected to participate in the learning collaborative work with a multi-disciplinary team of RPC quality improvement experts to identify areas of improvement and track process and outcome measures. Participants also have access to online materials and tools, as well as a peer sharing site. In addition, they attend monthly webinars and coaching sessions.
