Midwives College of Utah

Last month, at MCU’s annual commencement ceremony, we had the privilege of honoring four members of our community for their hard work, dedication to the art and science of midwifery, and their commitment to students and birthing people. Please join us in congratulating and celebrating these wonderful people for all they do!

We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to an anonymous donation, MCU is now an organizational sponsor of the National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM). As a result of this partnership, you can now receive a free student membership to this vital organization.

The NACPM is a powerful collective voice dedicated to strengthening and supporting excellence in the Certified Professional Midwife profession. They actively influence birth health policy to ensure that all childbearing people and infants have a healthy start. By becoming a member, you will be part of a community that’s making a real difference in the world of midwifery and birth health.

If you’re a student that hasn’t claimed their membership yet, check your ADMN 100 course for the June 15th announcement for further instructions.

Being a midwifery student is hard enough, but being a midwifery student and dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue, anxiety, among the daily responsibilities of life can be a crushing burden to bear alone.

This is your Mental Health Awareness Month reminder you do not have to walk alone, nor do you have to run on empty. Whatever part of the journey you are facing now, MCU is here to provide community and support! 💛

It’s National Women’s Health Week (May 10-16) and we are here to remind you that:

✨You don’t need to be pregnant to receive care from a midwife!

✨Expanding midwifery access gives underserved communities and healthcare deserts access to essential and potentially lifesaving women’s healthcare.

✨MCU grads are highly-skilled versatile medical professionals that are trained to provide a full spectrum of well-person and reproductive care (in pursuant to the scope of practice in their state) such as education, screening, exams, referrals and support for women of all ages.🙌🏻

This week we’re celebrating another graduate - join us in congratulating Ambrosia Meikle on a wonderful milestone! 🎓✨ May your warmth and wisdom spread ripples of joy and love in the communities you serve! Every mountain and valley is shaping you further into a midwife of excellence! 💛
