Descriptions
Within the education, midwives are trained for maternity, obstetrics and gynecological care as well as sexual education. The midwifery profession is a humane work in various environments within social and health care. Midwifery and caring science is the science that the midwifery profession is based on. In addition to caring science, students study public health science, medical subjects, behavioral and natural sciences such as anatomy, physiology and pharmacology.
The Agenda for Sustainable Development 2030 has been implemented in the curriculum as a learning objective.
The education provides readiness for work that affects women's reproductive health both independently and in multi-professional working groups. The midwifery education provides both midwifery and nursing qualifications.
Central to the studies is the care of women in different age groups and life situations. Midwifery, nursing science, health science, medical subjects, nursing work, drug treatment, anatomy and physiology, supervision and professional communication are also key subjects. Throughout the education, emphasis is placed on preventive and resource-enhancing working methods to promote the health of women and the family.
The studies include small group work, lectures, independent and virtual studies, simulations, various examinations, work-based projects. Supervised clinical studies (practice) are included in the studies from the second semester, and mean 4-7 week periods in social and health care at health centers, hospitals, home health care, counseling and other care facilities. Practical training, thesis and developmental project consists of 140 cr totally.
