Continuing Education
We believe in career-long learning and growth for doulas.
DONA International members are dedicated to keeping up on evidence-based information. DONA International certified doulas are required to recertify every three years. Our recertification process ensures that the doula remains proficient in the field, as well as keeping their skills and knowledge base up-to-date. Consider joining us for an annual conference. It’s always an inspiring time of connection and learning! You can also connect here with business webinars, general practice webinars and a variety of DONA approved advanced doula training.
In 2019, our annual Summit was held in-person in Houston, Tx. In 2020 and 2021, it went virtual and on-demand. 2022 is the year of the Member Meetup, virtual events happening almost every month, plus a 30-year celebratory Summit online. Stay tuned for more continuing education event announcements.
