Section 246-834-150. Students.

(1) Written policies and procedures for selection, admission, promotion, graduation and withdrawal of students shall be available.

(2) Courses completed prior to enrollment in the midwifery school should have been completed within ten years of enrollment and must be documented by official transcript in order for reduction of basic requirements to be considered.

(3) Students who seek admission by transfer from another midwifery educational program shall meet the equivalent of the school's current standards for those regularly enrolled. The school may grant credit for the care of up to thirty five women in each of the periods undertaken as a part of previous midwifery education. No less than fifteen women must be cared for in each period while enrolled in the school from which the student graduates. The student need not see the same women throughout each of the periods. A candidate for licensure must observe an additional fifty women in the intrapartum period in order to qualify for licensure. Up to thirty five of these observations may be as a part of previous midwifery education. No less than fifteen women must be observed in the intrapartum period while enrolled in the school from which the student graduates.

(4) Individuals may request advanced placement on the basis of their previous practical midwifery experience as specified in RCW 18.50.040(2) and WAC 246-834-010(5) but in no case shall a school grant credit for more than thirty-five of the fifty required managed births. At least fifteen of the managed births must be undertaken while enrolled in the school granting advanced placement.

(5) Each school shall maintain a comprehensive system of student records.
