This symposium, a collaboration of the Global Health Council, Conference Co-chair Dr. Sheila Tlou, the American College of Nurse-Midwives and the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, will bring together nurses, midwives and all those working in maternal health. The interactive dialogue will focus on two issues: 1) What do nurses and midwives in developing and developed countries want from each other? 2) What educational opportunities (or lack thereof) exist for midwives from other countries in the United States, and what student clinical placements exist globally for U.S. midwifery students interested in global health careers? We welcome the participation of attendees from the ACNM conference at this symposium.
