Comprehensive Midwifery Vol. 1: Professional Roles

This book on ‘Professional Roles’ details midwifery’s positive influence on health policy and health system operation, and midwifery’s role in health education, both of future midwives or recipients of care. It also focuses on the role of midwife scholars as researchers who build the evidence for and deepen the understanding of the impact of midwives and midwifery care. These philosophic and ethical underpinnings of midwifery care are as essential as learning about physiologic processes. Additional features include quizzes, case studies, educational activity guides, and a glossary.
