October 7, 2013 Update

Happy Autumn, everyone!

I'm sending this from the MCU conference--our beginning students are enjoying a session on Preparing Your Clients for Birth--I hear lots of laughter and happiness from over there, and our advanced students (and several midwives from the community) are studying ob pharmacology in the other room. Much more serious, but good learning happening while the caterer sets up a delicious-looking lunch.

For those wondering about international clinical placement standards, they are in progress and you can expect updates within the next two weeks. This is very important to us and we are working on it!

Also, for anyone who missed the online Clinical Orientation calls held earlier in the semester or would like to review, I have a recording of it now, available to download - Message me for the link and do message me with questions!

Upcoming clinical events for the coming month:
Thu Oct 10 at 12:00 noon (all Mountain time): Clinical Rounds-Special session LIVE from the conference on Cultural Awareness and Ethics in Clinical Practice

Tue Oct 15 at 7:00 pm: Clinical Rounds-Cheryl Furer will be presenting on Biophysical Profiles

Fri Oct 18 at 8:00 am: Class of 2014 Clinical meeting--for students planning on graduating and taking the NARM in 2014 (if you've already attended one of these sessions, no need to attend again).

Thursday, Oct 24 will be the NARM exam at MANA Conference so spare a thought for your sisters who will be testing that day.

Finally, Friday, Nov 1 is the deadline for Request to Test forms for students planning to take the February NARM exam.
