Apprenticeship Opening AustinAustin Area Birthing Center (both North and South locations) is looking for students in module 4, ideally with some birth/doula/clinical experience. Student may apply once they reach module 3. If you do not have these requirements, please inquire with the Birth Assistant Supervisor. We ask that our CPM students start working (in the paid position of) a birth assistant as this provides them an ample orientation to our clinic and practice guidelines and also allows us time to "vet" them and find out which candidates are ideal to continue as students at AABC. As a student at AABC you will have access to CNM and CPM preceptors from all over the world, two beautiful accredited facilities, monthly meetings with peer reviews, and a very high volume practice. Please contact our Student Coordinator, Leonora Colen at leonora@austinabc.com and the Birth Assistant Supervisor, Michelle Gold at mgold@austinabc.com with inquiries.
