Become a Certified Doula Through the University of Cincinnati: Online Training, College Credit, and a New Pathway into Maternal Health

What if you could become a certified doula while earning college credit through the University of Cincinnati? For aspiring doulas, nursing students, healthcare professionals, and anyone passionate about improving maternal and child health, an exciting educational opportunity is now available through the University of Cincinnati’s online Rural Population Health program.

And I’m incredibly excited to be part of it! After nearly 25 years working in maternal health, supporting families through pregnancy and childbirth, and educating birth professionals, I’m honored to announce that I’ve joined the University of Cincinnati as adjunct faculty, teaching maternal and child health doula training through UC Clermont’s Associate of Applied Science in Rural Population Health program.

This opportunity represents something I’ve believed in throughout my career: Doula education belongs in the larger conversation about healthcare, public health, and improving maternal outcomes.

And now, students have an opportunity to pursue professional doula certification while earning college credit.
