Finding a Preceptor

by NMBRN

Hello All!!
I am new to the board and have finished my application to the University of Philadelphia with one exception- finding a preceptor. I am at a loss of what else i can do. I have called and left messages at every office in the area and have contacted (or tried) the acnm chapter members with no success. I did get a hold of one midwife who seemed really excited and told me to call her after the holidays, which i did but she has not returned my calls. any suggestions from people who have already gone through this???
Thank you!

Does your school have any assistance with finding a preceptor? Maybe they could give you the names of people the school has used before. What about traveling to another community close by?

Hi!
I am fairly new to this site. However, are you looking for a home birth midwife to study under? are you a cnm?

i was able to finallt find a preceptor! it took a lot of search, some begging and some professional letters. it was well worth the struggle. i am not able to work under homebirth midwives with this program because of liability insurance... otherwise i would be set!
thanks for the suggestions.
