Caitlin LeGros, Instructor of Nursing at Rochester General Hospital, has 14 years of experience as a Certified Nurse Midwife. How do the work of a certified midwife and a medical doctor differ? Why do so many pregnant people choose midwives as birth attendants? What does that say about gender, parenting, family, and wellness?
A short presentation is followed by open Q&A.
This event is free and open to the public.
