Gap Medics Launching medical careers

Midwifery in the Caribbean

Future midwives who undertake placements in St. Lucia will benefit from experiencing very different environments for deliveries as well as postnatal and prenatal care. Working with a Government-run medical facility means that students can experience varying situations facing midwives at the forefront of patient care.

Our clinical teaching sessions, held three afternoons a week, are combined for students on our medical, nursing and midwifery programmes in order to give you a more complete insight into the work of the hospital team as a whole. There’s no shortage of specialist midwifery teaching though, as you’ll have a midwife or specialist nurse assigned as your personal student mentor for the whole time you’re on placement. Our partner hospital is within easy travelling distance of the Gap Medics house.
