Childbirth Educator Training at the Simkin Center (Bastyr University)

Students learn the basics of how to teach childbirth and newborn care. Instructors model a variety of teaching techniques including lecture, use of audio visual aids, role playing, active learning methods and small group activities. Students apply their learning through practice teaching sessions, which offers each student a chance to give a short presentation to peers and receive an experienced childbirth educator's feedback. This workshop format is perfect for those wanting to complete the Childbirth Educator Training in a shorter time frame than our typical 9-week online course. This course uses two online learning platforms, Canvas and InJoy e-class. There are approximately 14 online modules (including several that must be completed as pre-coursework), 2 all-day Saturday and 3 Tuesday evenings live-remote classes, and coursework in between virtual classes.
