Why One Weekend Course Isn’t Enough - 30
Summary:
In this episode, Dr. Brenda Heineke explains why weekend continuing education courses often aren’t enough to create lasting clinical confidence. She breaks down the difference between simply learning information and actually implementing it in practice, and why having a framework for clinical reasoning is essential for making good decisions with pregnant and postpartum clients. Using examples from pregnancy care, she shows how prioritization, patient context, and the ability to connect the dots lead to better outcomes, stronger patient buy-in, and a more scalable business. She also shares how the Birth Academy is designed to help clinicians build and implement a birth prep program, not just collect more techniques.
