The FertilityCare Practitioner Program of Northeast Indiana
8:00am-5:00pm
Huntington
Cost: Use QR code to visit website.
Are you ready to make an impact that is life-changing for women, marriages, and families?
Consider joining the family of FertilityCare Practitioners!
The learning process for the FertilityCare Practitioner Intern (FCPI) begins with an eight-day immersion course called Education Phase I. After successfully completing the first phase, the FCPI enters the second phase. Under the direction of a supervisor, the FCPI teaches clients the principles of charting using the Creighton Model FertilityCare System (CrMFCS) for the next six months.
After the successful completion of the second phase of the education phase, the FCPI returns for a six-day immersion course for the third phase. After successfully completing the third phase, the FCPI returns to teach additional clients under supervision in the fourth phase.
At the end of the 13-month program, the FCPI is approved to sit for a National Standardized Final Exam.
During this journey, the FCPI will encounter women who have never heard or learned that a woman can learn about how her body functions. As the client is educated about mapping out her observations, she is also taught about the meaning of the marker(s) and if and when a specific marker or markers should be discussed with her medical professional.
Becoming a FertilityCare Practitioner is the professional role that you have been looking for!
