Birthlocal California Apprenticeship Opportunities

Birthlocal (CA) IG @birthlocal (https://www.birthlocal.com/) recently shared: “8 year practicing solo midwife, highly imperfect yet trying to be a good human, seeks committed, smart mature student for apprenticeship. Apprenticeship begins with a 3 month trial period, and, if mutually agreeable, would then be the start of a 3 year commitment to training to qualify as a Licensed midwife. Independent Community Midwives are a special calling requiring crazy hours and a lot of critical AND compassionate thinking so this must be taken into consideration before applying.

Ideal candidate must be able to commit to 12 hours a week in clinic, 12 hours a week doing admin, and 12 hours a week in births (average but varies a ton) in addition to your own school, family, or other work. Clinic takes place in Carlsbad, CA, and in North Park, San Diego. Pay begins once you are capable of handling admin or birth assisting as needed, respectively.

Candidates must be enrolled in a qualified MEAC accredited program to apply.
