Midwifery is a three-year bachelor's program delivered in English at UniCamillus - Saint Camillus International University of Health Sciences, in Roma, Italy. Midwifery is a health care discipline focused on the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, as well as care of the newborn, with an emphasis on supporting normal physiological processes while recognizing and managing complications. Coursework in a midwifery program typically includes anatomy and physiology, reproductive and obstetric science, pharmacology, and midwifery-specific subjects such as prenatal care, labor and delivery management, postpartum and newborn care, and family planning and reproductive health. Students also generally study health care ethics, communication with patients and families, and the broader public health dimensions of maternal and infant health. As with other clinical health professions, supervised clinical placements form a core part of the training, giving students direct experience assisting in prenatal visits, births and postnatal care under the supervision of qualified midwives and other health professionals. This practical training is intended to prepare graduates to provide safe, competent care to women and newborns across the stages of pregnancy and birth. Graduates of midwifery programs typically work in hospitals, birthing centers, maternity clinics and community health settings, and some go on to specialize further or pursue graduate study in midwifery, nursing or public health. Roma, as Italy's capital, hosts numerous hospitals and health care facilities that support the clinical component of health science programs based there. Delivered in English, this bachelor's degree is intended to prepare students, including those coming from outside Italy, for professional practice as midwives within an internationally oriented university.
