This course is intended for medical professionals gaining competence in reading ultrasound images. It includes a comprehensive review of images that are a result of limited obstetrical ultrasound exams in Pregnancy Centers. With the recommendations of professional societies, the modules have been created to use the technicalities of medicine as well as the uniqueness of Pregnancy Help Medical Clinics, molded together to give the mother the information she needs. Because some Medical Directors may perform hands-on scanning in their clinics at times, some of the information is intended for those actively scanning or for those who are instructing those who are scanning.

 

This course is designed to equip staff and volunteers in pregnancy help centers, maternity homes, and related life-affirming ministries with practical tools for supporting women who have experienced trauma. The training explores how trauma, especially adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), can influence pregnancy, parenting, and overall well-being, while offering biblically grounded strategies for fostering healing and resilience.

Students will learn the key principles of trauma-informed care as defined by SAMHSA, how trauma impacts brain development, stress response systems, pregnancy outcomes, and maternal-child bonding. Practical applications are reinforced through scenario-based learning and reflection questions.

This course is ideal for individuals working in pregnancy help organizations who want to increase their effectiveness in walking alongside women with trauma histories. It is particularly helpful for caregivers seeking both evidence-based knowledge and faith-rooted approaches to serve with compassion.

To inform about the effect of artificial reproductive techniques (ART), in terms of human embryos produced and destroyed and health problems for the mother and the babies (if born). To present a step-by-step medical flow-chart for diagnosis and treatment of couple infertility.
