Seattle, Here We Come!

It’s time for midwives and their fans to start getting excited about the ACNM 54th Annual Meeting & Exposition. This special annual event is geared toward midwives and other women’s health experts, but also includes free activities for anyone interested in midwifery and women’s health. Here’s what you can look forward to:

Become a Midwife Forum
If you’re interested in a career in women’s health, visit the Washington State Convention & Trade Center for a free, interactive career event on Saturday, May 23, noon – 3 pm. Meet practicing midwives, interact with student midwives, and experiment with birth simulators, pelvic models, and more.
