Practitioners from the UAMS College of Nursing, Master of Nursing Science Program in Nurse-Midwifery, will offer a presentation on female anatomy and physiology.
This presentation will review typical female pelvic anatomy and physiology. Anatomical review will cover both internal and external organs and respective functions. Physiologic discussions will center on the menstrual cycle characteristics, purpose, and range of normal. This presentation will be provided by a women's health provider and a pelvic floor physical therapist.
Nurse-midwives are advanced practice registered nurses who specialize in the care of women. Evidence based care - grounded in affirming the power of women, honoring the normalcy of their lifecycles, and prioritizing compassionate partnerships with women - nurse-midwives care for women across their lifespan, from adolescence through menopause and beyond.
Samantha Crouch, DNP, CNM, IBCLC, is a certified nurse-midwife offering reproductive healthcare across the lifespan. Midwifery services are centered around compassionate, personalized care for women for all reproductive health needs from adolescence through menopause. This includes gynecology, pregnancy, lactation, menopause, and more. Crouch worked for five years in private practice in Northwest Arkansas and delivered babies at Willow Creek Hospital. She also delivered babies at UAMS in Little Rock for several years. She has simultaneously been working in nurse-midwifery education since 2021, having taught nurse-midwifery DNP students at Baylor for several years before transitioning to UAMS in late 2024 to help launch our proposed nurse-midwifery program. At UAMS Northwest, she provides reproductive health and lactation support services in an outpatient setting. Crouch received her B.S.N. at the University of Arkansas and her M.S. and D.N.P. from Oregon Health & Science University.
