Leipzig University trains foreign midwives for the German job market

In May, the Faculty of Medicine will launch an adaptation course designed to support the professional recognition of midwives who qualified in non-EU countries. The course is tailored to the individual needs of participants. Since midwifery training varies widely across countries – depending on education systems, medical standards and legal frameworks – midwives bring varying levels of skills and professional experience. The adaptation course, run by the Institute for Midwifery Science and Interprofessional Perinatal Medicine, is the first of its kind in Saxony and is intended as a pilot for potential expansion across Central Germany. The project is supported by the Saxon State Ministry for Social Affairs, Health and Social Cohesion.
