Project Description: Prenatal education provide learners with knowledge and skills to support healthy pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, a surge in virtual prenatal education has been observed. In Nova Scotia this trend pre-dated the pandemic, with prenatal education classes being replaced with an online education in 2014-18, and has received mixed reviews from the public. Megan and Shannan will present an overview of the work they have done to explore this phenomenon, through interdisciplinary and inter-professional collaboration and education.
