Description: Commonsense Childbirth School of Midwifery equips students with the skills to become competent midwives, focusing on out-of-hospital birth.
This school was designed to enable students to gain the knowledge and skills needed to become highly competent midwives. We place an emphasis on teaching the art of out-of-hospital birth, differentiating between low-risk and high-risk pregnancies while preparing students to organize and operate as a professional midwife.
The mission of Commonsense Childbirth School of Midwifery (CCSM) is to provide quality, practical, and culturally sensitive midwifery training and education that will prepare midwives of caliber who can represent themselves and their profession in any arena.
We aim to inspire our students to become perinatal leaders in the maternal-child health field, willing to provide access to respectful maternity care for all communities with an emphasis on eliminating health disparities through the education and empowerment of women and families so that they can once again safely experience “their birth, their way”.
