Education and development for health professionals

The March of Dimes offers a range of educational opportunities for health professionals, some of which include continuing education credits. Our resources include online materials, nursing modules, grand rounds, conferences and seminars.

Preterm birth curriculum

 The Compendium on Preterm Birth is an evidence-based online curriculum that teaches health professionals how to detect patients at risk for early delivery. Topics include epidemiology, pathophysiologic pathways, management of preterm labor, and the state of research. The compendium offers downloadable slide sets that can be used for either self-study or group presentation.

Nursing education

For more than 30 years, the March of Dimes has offered continuing education to perinatal nurses. Developed by top experts in the field, our print and online materials can be used for individual or group study. We also support future nursing leaders by awarding scholarships to students who are pursuing graduate degrees in perinatal nursing.

Genetics education

 Genetics & Your Practice educates health care professionals who serve women before and during pregnancy, infants and children, adolescents and adults. The program provides information and resources to help busy professionals integrate genetics into their practices.
