SUMMARY:February Journal Club
DESCRIPTION:February Journal Club – Factors Associated With Interest in Birth Center Care for a Future Pregnancy: A Secondary Analysis of the Listening to Mothers in California Survey \nUnderstanding future demand for midwifery-led birth centers is critical to increasing utilization of this high-value model of care. This study examines factors associated with interest in birth center care for a future pregnancy. Methods: We analyzed data from the Listening to Mothers in California survey. The study included 1447 people who had a singleton hospital birth in 2016 and did not have a history of cesarean birth. More than half of respondents (n = 789; 54.5%) expressed interest in receiving care at a birth center in the future. Broadening access to midwifery-led birth centers to accommodate future demand is needed. \nPresented by: \nErin George\, PhD\, CNM\, FACNM

SUMMARY:Surgical First Assist Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Midwife as Surgical First Assistant is an expanded practice area for the CNM and CM. The midwife who serves as first assistant in surgery functions as a perinatal and birth professional in the perioperative setting. The workshop’s focus is on applying current evidence so midwives can participate and provide continuity of care for clients during a cesarean section. In this course\, you will learn core knowledge and skills needed to perform as the surgical first assistant for cesarean\, at a novice level. \nThis course is designed specifically for midwives and addresses the promotion of vaginal birth\, shared decision-making and informed consent\, and functioning as an active member of the perioperative team. Attendees learn how to perform immediate pre-op preparation of the client for surgery\, and during surgery provide optimal surgical exposure\, participate in tissue dissection\, ensure hemostasis\, perform or facilitate wound closure\, and perform other intraoperative functions to assist the surgeon in carrying out a safe operation that optimizes outcomes.

SUMMARY:Missed\, Delayed\, Preventable: Syphilis in Pregnancy and the Power of Point-of-Care Testing
DESCRIPTION:Syphilis rates in pregnancy continue to rise despite long-standing screening recommendations and effective treatment. This session will explore where and why missed opportunities occur across the perinatal continuum\, with attention to barriers that delay diagnosis and treatment. Current screening recommendations and emerging point-of-care testing options that can support timely\, patient-centered care will be highlighted.\n\nPresented by:\n\n\nHelen M.

SUMMARY:Realizing Person-Centered Decision-Making for Routine Induction of Labor
DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines how person-centered decision-making can guide counseling for routine induction of labor. Grounded in midwifery values and aligned with the ACNM position statement\, the session emphasizes informed choice\, respect for autonomy\, and preference-concordant care. We will explore practical strategies and clinical tools that support meaningful\, values-aligned conversations and demonstrate how to use a patient-centered decision aid in clinical practice to optimize shared decision-making with patients. \n  \nPresented by: \nKari Radoff CNM\, FACNM\n \nAnn Peralta\, DrPH\, MPH

SUMMARY:Sleep Across the Perinatal Journey: Pregnancy\, Postpartum\, and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the AASM Foundation\, ACNM presents a webinar focusing on sleep disturbances across the perinatal cycle. Sleep disturbances are common during pregnancy and the postpartum period and can significantly impact maternal physical and mental health. This webinar will provide an overview of sleep changes across the perinatal continuum\, highlighting key clinical considerations for nurse-midwives. Topics will include the identification and management of sleep disorders\, including obstructive sleep apnea during pregnancy\, the relationship between sleep and mood\, and the impact of postpartum sleep disruption on maternal mental health. Participants will gain practical strategies to assess and support sleep health in perinatal care settings. \npresented by: \nGhada Bourjeily\, MD\n\n\nKatherine M.

SUMMARY:Midwifery Week 2025: How Midwives Can Use the Quality Family Planning (QFP) Recommendations to Improve Care and Advance Change
DESCRIPTION:This webinar hosted by Coalition to Expand Contraceptive Access (CECA) and Power to Decide (PTD) in collaboration with ACNM\, will introduce participants to the Quality Family Planning (QFP) Recommendations released in late 2024. The recommendations aim to enable health care providers with the knowledge\, skills\, and attitudes to ensure that all people\, regardless of individual characteristics such as sex\, sexual orientation and gender identity\, age\, disability\, or race\, can have their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs met. In the rapidly changing SRH landscape\, these guidelines equip administrators and clinicians to channel the best available evidence to improve practice. \nPresented by Raegan McDonald-Mosley\, MD\, MPH\, FACOG & Lisa Stern\, RN\, MSN\, MA

SUMMARY:Midwifery Week 2025: Getting Virtual Care Right: Three case studies exploring high-risk maternity care for the individual and group care patient
DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines the implementation and outcomes of a virtual Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model designed specifically for high-risk maternity care. Through quantitative analysis and detailed case studies\, we evaluate how digital health technologies enable comprehensive care coordination between virtual specialists and local in-person providers. The model demonstrates successful integration of behavioral health services\, group care\, medical nutrition therapy\, and specialty consultation that maintains fidelity to relationship-based care principles and midwifery best practices. \n  \nPresented by Amy MacDonald\, CNM\, MSN\, FACNM

SUMMARY:Midwifery Week 2025: Clinical Competencies for Suturing and Perineal Repair
DESCRIPTION:This presentation introduces recently developed clinical competencies for suturing\, post-birth assessment\, and repair of birth-related tissue trauma. Detailed skill-specific clinical competencies provide an innovative framework for learning\, teaching\, and evaluation of skill acquisition. Explore how competencies can improve birth equity for clients and across the midwifery profession\, ensuring that all midwives have the education and skills to be confident and competent when assessing the need for and performing wound approximation after birth. Examine how clinical competencies present new ways for learning and teaching of suturing skills. \nPresented by Nell Tharpe\, CNM\, CRNFA\, MS\, FACNM

SUMMARY:Addressing Mis and Disinformation in Contraceptive Care - A discussion with CECA and PTD
DESCRIPTION:The webinar hosted by Coalition to Expand Contraceptive Access (CECA) and Power to Decide (PTD) in collaboration with ACNM addresses current challenges surrounding access to contraception amidst political and advocacy attacks\, with a heightened emphasis on the role of misinformation and disinformation (MDI). These challenges include attempts to redefine pregnancy by focusing on fertilization rather than implantation\, which not only poses risks for both providers and patients\, but also contributes to widespread misconceptions. \nSince Fall 2022\, CECA has united stakeholders to develop a responsive\, proactive\, and collaborative strategy for contraceptive access in a post-Roe environment. Through this process\, five focus areas and goals emerged\, refined by key stakeholders\, which can help shape an effective strategy. Significant attention has been given to the second focus area\, which addresses contraceptive MDI. PTD has been actively working to raise awareness about these issues\, particularly the risks associated with redefining pregnancy and the implications for access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care. \nThe webinar aims to engage ACNM members by presenting key insights from the Post-Roe Strategy and equipping members with practical knowledge and tools to effectively address MDI related to SRH care. \n  \nPresented by \nLisa Stern\, RN\, MSN\, MA\n \n \nRaegan McDonald-Mosley\, MD\, MPH\, FACOG
