The Birth Cottage PLLCAbout the Birth Cottage, est. 2005:
For Students: The Birth Cottage midwives are committed to preserving the art and science of midwifery for future generations of women. Both Adrian and Autumn serve as clinical preceptors for midwifery students. Students at our birth center have, for the most part, completed the didactic portion of their education. We accept students from MEAC-accredited programs, CNM candidates who plan to practice in an out-of-hospital setting, and women developing their portfolios for certification by the North American Registry of Midwives. Applicants for student placement should already posses a solid foundation of knowledge in the areas of midwifery and women's health, and be prepared to work in a busy, broad-scope practice. Placements last between 3-12 months. We also offer limited observation hours for student nurses. Midwifery and nursing students enrolled in graduate-level programs have used the center as a research site, or for project-based work in women's community health. Student midwife inquiries should be directed to Adrian Feldhusen, NHCM, CPM, and must include a resume of birth and/or healthcare-related experience and letter of introduction.
