Having problems with message search?
Currently I am working in a primary care clinic in Bacalar, Q.Roo, Mexico where I see patients of all ages and with all types of conditions. Thanks to my midwifery training, I feel competent to offer prenatal and postpartum care...a significant part of a country docs job. I have also had the opportunity to attend births (normal birthing here is not considered a specialty, and my Mexican counterparts would have questioned my medical training if I COULDN'T catch babies).
While liability is a huge issue in the United States of America, it's unfortunate that it has been alloweded to affect the curricula for future naturopathic physicians. Pregnancy and birth is a integral part of the normal life cycle, and we should feel comfortable and confident to work with women during those periods. I hope that more of my colleagues will chose to do international work, where ALL of our training is very appreciated (including natural child birth!).
