Room and Boarding

Single students are required to live in our school dormitory located walking distance from the clinic. Students share household responsibilities such as cleaning and cooking.

Personal Commitment

The commitment required of each student is in-depth. The overall program is accelerated in its presentation. The course requirements combined with the clinical and birth rotations often times involve long hours and minimal or interrupted sleep. Such is the life of a midwife. The curriculum can be rigorous as the combination of study with the clinical and birth rotations require flexibility and long hours. In addition, the intensity of patient care and the multitude of emotional experiences the student will encounter require that the student find support in their leaders, fellow students, friends and ultimately in her relationship with God. At all times the students will be encouraged to nurture their own relationship with God as well as reaching out to support and receive support from each other and the staff. In this way everyone will be able to work together toward our goal of bringing God's heart to those for whom we care.

Student Group

All students and other full time staff from the clinic meet from time-to-time to encourage one another. Topics of discussion vary based on the need. Sometimes discussion will consist of chart review and patient related issues. Other times it is centered on personal well being. Students are given the opportunity to share their struggles, frustrations or challenges with the rest of the group. As a 'family' we aim to encourage and pray for each other. The work here is very demanding and requires much effort physically, emotionally and spiritually. Student group is a good time to share any concerns or encouraging reports with others so that we can rejoice and pray together.

Computer/Internet Access:

There are computers made available at the school for students to do their homework and access the Internet. However, we recommend that students seriously consider bringing a personal notebook computer with them. A digital camera is also recommended because students will certainly want to document their time here.
