SOSC 2010 Culturally Safe Care, 2 cr.
PREREQUISITE: Completion of all Phase One classes or currently a CPM/RM.

Building off a foundation of equity, anti-oppression, and culturally safe care from SOSC 1010, students will further explore
difference, power, and privilege as it relates specifically to midwifery care provided in the childbearing year. Students will strengthen the skills necessary to provide non-discriminatory, equitable, and safe care to all clients. This course will do a deep dive into the impact to clients in the clinical setting associated with racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, ageism, and discrimination associated with relationship status and immigration status. The course will explore systems of impact in midwifery and how to engage within those systems to facilitate change that increases safety. Throughout the course, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ midwives who are doing the work of serving clients on the ground, and the organizations serving these midwives will be highlighted to demonstrate the effectiveness of evidence based culturally concordant care.
