This program is designed to support the learner throughout the transition process from novice to advanced beginner and consists of a blended learning approach which incorporates the following integral components: didactic instruction, preceptor based clinical practicum, AWHONN Perinatal Orientation Education Program online modules, and case-based simulation training. All training methodologies are geared towards enhancing the learner's exposure to different populations of postpartum patients and newborns with varying compound health problems and towards developing relationships among the multidisciplinary health care team.
