>>For fyi, student midwives here in SA are *forbidden* to seek experience of any kind with any independently practicing midwife, on threat of a fail grade for the clinical topic &/or expulsion from the course.
While this is the case at one uni, it does not appear to be at the other uni. We have a lay midwife doing the Bmid who will be doing her practicum with an independent midwife. We believe we are able to participate in homebirths, and I am certainly hoping to do just that. Kate -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
