    How to Teach Evidence-Based Childbirth Classes and Still Keep Your Job

    Wednesday, May 22 from 1:00 PM – 2:15 PM EST

    Presented by Kathryn Konrad, MS, RNC-OB, LCCE, FACCE.

    Childbirth educators including RNs, LPNs lactation consultants, midwives, doulas and others who teach childbirth education in a hospital setting may find it challenging to push for safe and healthy birth outcomes. The purpose of this webinar is to examine the conflicts that may arise when hospital-based childbirth educators teach evidence-based content that is in conflict or inconsistent with hospital and/or provider policies and practices, and to investigate strategies for promoting best practices.

    After attending this webinar learners will be able to:

    • Identify potential conflicts of interest when teaching childbirth education classes in a hospital setting;
    • Describe strategies for empowering pregnant women to advocate for their preferences regarding evidence-based maternity care and;
    • Develop strategies for promoting evidence-based birth practices within a hospital setting.

    Kathryn Konrad has educational experience overseeing the development and presentation of childbirth, breastfeeding and parenting classes in both hospital and community settings.  Currently she is an instructor at The University of Oklahoma College of Nursing.  She received a Bachelors of Science degree from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2000 and a Masters of Science degree with an emphasis in Nursing Education from The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in 2008.  She has been Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator since 2006, an RNC-OB since 2005 and a labor and birth nurse since 2000.  She was inducted as a Fellow in the Academy of Certified Childbirth Educators in 2011.

    Lamaze International and OB Consult are collaborating on a joint education initiative to provide evidence-based and complimentary educational services to OB nursing staff and physicians on their role in supporting patient childbirth education and participation, resulting in enhanced physician-patient relationships, engaged mothers, and healthier babies.  This webinar officially launches this new collaborative initiative.

    Childbirth preparation has been an integral part of the birth experience for centuries, in the beginning as experiential learning when births occurred in the home and then in the 50s and 60s as part of a formal curriculum in physician offices, hospitals and the community.

    Travel with us through time to see how the trends in childbirth and childbirth education can impact the care that pregnant women and their families experience in the 21st century.

    • Is childbirth education a passing fancy or an integral part of the childbirth experience?
    • How can physicians, nurse midwives and nurses work together to create a safe and satisfying birth experience for all involved?

    Learn about evidence-based strategies that you can put into place now and in the future to educate all stakeholders in the experience of birth.
