Degree Class: L/SNT-1 Nursing and Midwifery

The three-year Degree Program in Midwifery provides a qualification to practice as a midwife.
Born from civic engagement since the dawn of society, the role of midwife has been consolidated with modern medicine, acquiring, in today's world, the role of an autonomous and responsible professional in their fields of expertise.
The Degree Program in Midwifery at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia aims to train professionals with the theoretical knowledge and technical skills necessary to practice the profession.
The primary objective is to train professionals according to ethical, deontological, and disciplinary principles relating to the physical and psychological well-being of women, couples, and families throughout their developmental journey: birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, pregnancy, menopause, and old age.
The program consists of six-monthly theoretical training activities (lectures, laboratories, exercises), with 75% attendance required, and annual clinical-care activities (internship), with 100% attendance required. The start of the internship is contingent upon obtaining a medical suitability assessment from the competent physician of the healthcare facility where the internship will take place.

Before starting the internship, students attend educational workshops where they can conduct simulations with the help of trainers.
The educational workshop is a necessary method for training to begin in a "protected" environment, which precedes the internship experience in the field, serving as a "bridge" between theory and clinical internship.
The degree program benefits from the innovative Center for Advanced Training and Medical Simulation (FASiM) of the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery.
