One Little Life at a Time Kim Woodard Osterholzer

One Little Life at a Time, Recommendations + Record Keeping for Aspiring Midwives burst upon the scene as Kim's almost frantic attempt to craft a study plan and track her progress while pressing through nine arduous years of apprenticeship toward certification with the North American Registry of Midwives as a Certified Professional Midwife. By the time Kim managed to earn her CPM with NARM, what is now this book had been reduced to three badly tattered, torn, and taped together three-ring binders. Soon after launching into independent practice, Kim found a line of women interested in pursuing their own homebirth midwifery apprenticeships forming at her doors, and she realized it was time to turn her set of bedraggled materials into something a student could use while working with her. Kim has since recognized what's worked well with her own students might be useful to other students studying in other places and with other preceptors, so she set to work transforming the material yet again.
