AB 836: Midwifery Workforce Training Act.

This bill would require the department of health care access and information to administer funding for a statewide study on midwifery education. The study would be conducted by an outside consultant and would identify viable education programs that can serve both rural and urban areas. The study's findings would be submitted to the legislature, posted on the department's website, and notified to all persons on the department's reproductive health and maternity care electronic mailing list. The bill would also define "reproductive health care professionals" as including medical doctors and licensed midwives.
