The Skills of a Midwife

Hello! My name is Maureen Browne and on behalf of expertvillage.com, we’re today to speak about the additional clinical skills of a midwife. For a licensure, all midwives have to be proficient in emergency and neonatal resuscitation. They have to carry an NRP, which is a Neonatal Resuscitation Program Certification, which is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Midwives additionally, can perform perineal suturing in needed after delivery.
