About this Event

Urban Perinatal Education Center (UPEC) is partnering with the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) Department of Maternal Child Health to establish a community-based midwifery workforce in RI and improve perinatal outcomes in the State of Rhode Island.

The mission of the Urban Perinatal Education Center is to create a space for perinatal equity through three lenses: culturally congruent care and community, supporting equity in care, and building a workforce for change. Through the Maternal Health Innovation grant UPEC is implementing the Certified Professional Midwifery (CPM) Initiative alongside other maternal health projects with RIDOH. The collaborative development plans to promote a culturally competent midwifery program with a focus on attracting a more diverse student body will serve to provide concordant care to people of reproductive age in Rhode Island, as midwives of color are uniquely positioned to address the economic, political, and social determinants of health that impact people of color.

The RI Certified Professional Midwifery Equity Initiative addresses the disparaging data on Black and BIPOC maternal health birth outcomes in the state of Rhode Island. The efforts of the Urban Perinatal Education Center are intentionally centered in equity promotion for health care and in support of the implementation of a culturally concordant and congruent CPM workforce.

This opportunity is made possible through a partnership with the Commonsense School of Midwifery in Florida. This is a hybrid, rigorous clinical and academic 3-year commitment; relocation is a mandatory expectation of program completion.

This program (or equity initiative) is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of the State Maternal Health Innovation grant awarded to the Rhode Island Department of Health and the Urban Perinatal Education Center.
