AAMI - Options

Options

The following options are available as add-ons at time of enrollment:
Philomath $175 (May be ordered after enrollment.)

A Philomath is a “Lover of Learning.” This option is designed for the
extremely serious student. The Philomath 5 student receives an initial
package of additional study projects, quizzes, and study modules. These
afford a far more in-depth study of many midwifery related topics.
Additional packages are sent once a year. This option does not ADD
requirements but offers more benefits and options AND an additional year to
complete the Advanced Midwifery Studies course (4 years, 3 months rather
than 3 years, 3 months. Philomath students are the only students who are
eligible for the Director’s Honor Roll. The fee for Philomath 5 is $175.
(May be paid in 7 post-dated checks of $25 each)

* FREE subscription to Class Notes (subscription valid throughout enrollment)
* FREE student ID (normally $5)
* Adds One Year to enrollment ($200 value)
* Quizzes and AEU Opportunities (not as add on but part of several of the packages below)

Childbirth Educator Certification $150/$250 (May be ordered after enrollment.)

Our Childbirth Education Certification option is only available for AMS
enrollees.
The fee is $150 if added after enrollment. Gives student up to 13 months
additional enrollment and offers up to 8 AEUs.
Concurrent with work on AMS course. Final Certification requires 3 completed sections of the course in addition to CCE requirements.
Optional: We will provide comments and suggestions on teaching skills as
part of final certification for an additional fee of $100.
$35 fee for 2 year Certification and ReCertification.

NARM FOCUS $250

The purpose of the NARM FOCUS option is to help prepare our students for the written NARM test while completing Advanced Midwifery Studies. A passing score on the NARM written exam has often been achieved by our enrollees long before AAMI graduation. This brand new option is designed to help our enrollees who are CPM candidates prepare for the written test FIRST, but we do not want any student to choose the NARM Focus option unless she fully intends to complete the entire AMS course.

The NARM FOCUS option is only available for Advanced Midwifery Studies enrollees who have completed the AMS Orientation process.
The fee for the NARM Focus option is only $250 and entitles the participant to:
* 1 year extension
* Access to VARNEY Study Questions
* 25 weeks of intensive preparation for the NARM written exam as part of a private email study group.
* $20 AAMI store voucher for providing proof of a passing score on the NARM written exam.
* 3 AEUS for completion of NARM FOCUS/ 1 additional AEU for proof of a passing score on the NARM written exam.

Disclaimer: AAMI does not officially promote the NARM CPM credentialing process, or believe that the credential is equivalent to, or necessary for, superior midwifery practice. However, we fully support our enrollees who are working toward that or any other credential. We do not offer the NARM FOCUS to non-AAMI enrollees.

Life offers two great gifts: time and the ability to choose how we spend it. Planning is a process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.
