I have over 10 years of experience teaching nurse-midwifery courses at the university level. My teaching experience includes developing curriculum, delivering lectures, facilitating clinical rotations, and mentoring students. I have also published research in the field, which has informed my teaching practices and allowed me to bring current evidence-based practices into the classroom.

I stay current by regularly attending conferences, participating in continuing education courses, and being an active member of professional organizations such as the American College of Nurse-Midwives. Additionally, I subscribe to several journals and follow key researchers in the field to ensure my knowledge is up-to-date and relevant.

My approach to mentoring involves a combination of hands-on guidance and reflective discussions. I ensure students are well-prepared for clinical rotations by providing detailed orientation sessions. During the rotation, I offer real-time feedback and encourage students to reflect on their experiences, helping them develop critical thinking and clinical judgment skills.

I handle challenging situations by maintaining open communication and empathy. If a student is struggling, I first assess the root cause and then provide tailored support, whether through additional tutoring, counseling, or adjusting their workload. In clinical settings, I ensure that all students are aware of protocols and have access to resources to manage unexpected situations.

I use a variety of strategies to engage students, including case studies, group discussions, and interactive simulations. I also incorporate technology, such as online quizzes and virtual reality simulations, to make learning more dynamic. Additionally, I encourage students to take an active role in their education by assigning projects that require them to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.
