Mission
Heart & Art hopes to add midwifery spirit back into the program through quarterly gatherings that build a nurturing community of midwifery students. Circles are intended to expose students to concepts in midwifery care that are not covered in the standard CNM coursework at UCSF. It is our hope to invite a midwife to come speak each quarter to expand student's understanding of midwifery and foster community amongst midwifery students, faculty, and the greater midwifery community. The gatherings include story sharing and discussions about the culture and context of midwifery today.

This is a group for UCSF Midwifery Students who want to practice mindfulness in order reduce stress, increase our resilience and self-compassion, and prevent professional burnout once we become clinicians. We will meet weekly to practice meditation and other self-care practices to help us process events related to our midwifery education. The practices will be informed by the work and mentorship of Nancy Bardacke, CNM. Nancy is the founder of the Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting program, which she teaches at UCSF's Osher Center, and Nancy will be leading several seminars to help guide what we do in the weekly group. Activities will include guided meditations and listening dyads.

Mission
Our goal is to develop a street nursing practice, and to provide educational opportunities for students of all specialties to learn about caring for those experiencing homelessness in this particular setting (similar concept to street medicine, but based in a nursing framework). We plan to have events with guest speakers who have developed street medicine programs across the country, and to support students in volunteering with street medicine programs in SF and Oakland. We will host seminars on evidence based practice, liability, and quality improvement (and hopefully more!). We'd also like to hold a supply drive and collect useful things such as socks and hygiene kit supplies.
