The Collaboration for Maternal and Newborn Health (CMNH) is one of the Special Interest Focused Programs (SIFP) of the Department of Family Practice, in the Faculty of Medicine, at the University of British Columbia. The CMNH has been operating since 2002 with a specialized focus on maternity care and interprofessional learning, practice and research.
The Collaboration for Maternal & Newborn Health (CMNH) is an initiative designed to increase communication and interprofessional practice between maternity care providers. The CMNH committee members include family physicians, obstetricians, anesthetists, pediatricians, nurses, midwives, researchers, and doula educators. We work as a team to develop an integrated approach to maternity care education, research, advocacy, policy, and sustainability. Our projects provide students with a unique patient-centered model of interprofessional education and collaboration in maternity care.
