Savvy Birth PRO Workshop by Evidence Based Birth®

Are you passionate about evidence-based care, but regularly witness hospital policies taking precedence over your client’s choice? It can be frustrating to watch clients receive care that isn’t based on research and not quite knowing how to help. 

The Savvy Birth Pro Workshop (3 contact hours) was developed by Evidence Based Birth® to give professionals the skills you need to make a genuine difference and help your clients attain the best possible chance at evidence-based care during pregnancy and labor.  

The 3-hour Savvy Birth Pro Workshop will succeed in preparing you to help your clients assert their right to evidence-based care in a respectful way that builds bridges, not walls. We believe the inspirational knowledge you will gain from the Savvy Birth Pro Workshop will have a positive ripple effect that extends to your clients, the professionals you work with and your community! 

You’re no longer alone in the quest to help more families receive respectful, high quality maternity care!  The Savvy Birth Pro Workshop does more than provide great skills; it creates a strong community of connected professionals who together share this important mission.   

This class is designed for nurses, doulas, childbirth educators, midwives, and any other birth professionals in our community.

Contact Hours

By attending the Savvy Birth Pro workshop and completing an online evaluation, you will earn a certificate for 3 contact hours from Evidence Based Birth®, a continuing education provider for the Kentucky Board of Nursing # 7-0081. Nursing contact hours can be applied to most childbirth educator and doula certifications, as well as the Certified Professional Midwife credential. 

Learning Objectives

  1. Define evidence-based care and discuss statistics on the quality of birth settings in our local community
  2. Discuss the major reasons why we have an evidence-practice gap, including the power hierarchy and how it is a barrier to evidence-based, family-centered care
  3. Discuss ways that we can bridge the evidence-practice gap at the system level
  4. Discuss specific strategies we can use to help our clients obtain evidence-based care

 

Instructor

This class is taught by Katie Nyberg, CLD, CPD, CLE, CNPE, CPST. She has been a part of the central Iowa birth community since 2010 and has also served leadership positions at several international birth organizations. She is a current faculty and curriculum writer for CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association) and is an official Evidence Based Birth® Instructor. 

Katie is excited to bring this class to Iowa after attending hundreds of births where Evidence Based Care is not the norm. Expecting parents are not being offered true informed decision making and are not being respected for their choices. It’s time to make a change! This class empowers professionals to make a difference right away.
