Help families in your
community get
evidence based care.
Become an evidence based Birth® Professional
How can you help families in your community get evidence based care?
Here’s the deal: You and I both want evidence based care to be the “norm” for birthing families in our community. But on average, it takes 15 to 20 years for evidence to be put into practice. This situation is totally unacceptable! How can we speed up that gap so that families can get that care right here, right now?
Learn how to be a change agent in your community… and then also get the support you need right here in the Evidence Based Birth® professional membership.
Our members get immediate access to:
- Our flagship 6-week course on “How to help families get evidence based care”
- Courses with up to 27 contact hours for nurses, physicians, doulas, CNMs, CMs, CPMs, and childbirth educators
- Live monthly training sessions on hot topics in the field, offering contact hours

An inter-professional community where we all come together
Our community is one-of-a-kind in the birth world, because it is made up of all kinds of professionals! We have nurses, midwives, certified midwives, doulas, childbirth educators, lactation consultants, advocates, obstetricians, and family physicians among our ranks. We are all here to support one another in the quest to get evidence based care into our communities.
27+ Hours of Cutting-Edge Continuing Education
Your membership comes with 8 formal courses (27 hours and counting) that have all been approved for nursing contact hours. Most doulas and childbirth educators are also able to claim nursing contact hours towards their continuing education.
Certified nurse midwives and certified midwives are able to claim continuing education units that are approved by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). The AAFP has reviewed our course collection, Evidence Based Perinatal Care (sessions marked with an * below), and deemed it acceptable for AAFP Prescribed Credit. Term of approval is from 01/01/2023 to 01/01/2024. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. The sessions marked* can also be used towards the NARM Midwifery Bridge Certificate.
These are the classes in our course directory– certificates for contact hours are included in your membership!
- How to Help Families Get Evidence Based Care* (our flagship course; worth 8 nursing contact hours and 7 AAFP prescribed credits)
- Due Dates and Advanced Maternal Age* (3 nursing contact hours and 3 AAFP prescribed credits)
- Big Babies and Gestational Diabetes* (3 nursing contact hours and 3 AAFP prescribed credits)
- Friedman’s Curve and Failure to Progress* (2 nursing contact hours and 2 AAFP prescribed credits)

- Overturning Hospital Bans on Eating during Labor and Waterbirth (3 nursing contact hours).
- Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (1.5 nursing contact hours)
- Building Your Birth Business (4 nursing contact hours)
AAFP Prescribed credit is accepted by the American Medical Association as equivalent to AMA PRA Category 1 credit(s)™ toward the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award. When applying for the AMA PRA, Prescribed credit earned must be reported as Prescribed, not as Category 1.
