  • Midwifery students' clinical experiences can be expanded to underserved populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the experiences of midwifery students providing care in a women's correctional facility.
  • To identify the scope of gynecologic, antepartum, and postpartum care needs within this setting.
  • To assess the potential for integrating primary care and health education by students.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical placement of midwifery students at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility.
  • Provision of gynecologic and/or antepartum/postpartum care over 2-4 months.
