MMB Info Sessions for Aspiring Midwives

The Midwifery Mentoring & Belonging (MMB) program is committed to mentorship, community building, and fostering meaningful experiences for the greater BIPOC midwifery community in CA (currently, the program is only for students at UCSF (University of California at San Francisco) + California State University Fullerton. MMB promotes structured support along each student's education journey. The quarterly Information Sessions for Aspiring Midwives are one of MMB's offerings to build community.   

What is MMB Info Session for Aspiring Midwives?  

It is an informal sharing and discussion space for aspiring midwives who are in their data gathering phase of potential midwifery schools of interest to apply for in the future. Specifically, for those interested in learning more about student's experiences at UCSF + Cal-State Fullerton midwifery programs. It is a focused space to hear from students and ask questions.   

What will the sessions be like?  

The sessions will take place quarterly for an hour. This space is for aspiring midwives, led by MMB program mentees (midwifery students at UCSF & Cal-State Fullerton). An MMB student panel will discuss a topic of interest identified in advance by BIPOC aspiring midwives and students. All MMB mentees and mentors are welcome to attend. This space is for aspiring midwives by MMB mentees.   

I am interested! How do I sign up to join sessions?
