MCU Philosophy

MCU affirms that traditional midwives fill an important and unique position within the health care spectrum. Midwifery is a profession that functions independently and in collaboration with other health care professions.

Traditional midwifery care emphasizes facilitation and enhancement of natural processes throughout all aspects of pregnancy, delivery, postpartum, and well-woman care. It considers emotional and spiritual factors as it utilizes a variety of methods, techniques, modalities and technologies.

MCU believes that excellent core midwifery training must be accompanied by entrepreneurial business and life development-balance skills in order to create a holistic midwifery education. MCU provides curriculum in all three of these areas.

The Midwives College of Utah is a Christian School. No specific denomination or doctrine is taught in our curriculum. However, the philosophical perspective and culture of MCU acknowledges the following:

Spiritual guidance in midwifery
All good originates from our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ
All human beings are children of God
