This doula training includes all required educational hours to complete the educational part of becoming a trained birth doula. The school will try to connect the new doulas with other community doulas, if available. Once the student has completed the training, she/he can start attending births for pay or volunteer while working on certification.
Once the doula completes the certification process, she/he will be eligible to apply to become a Tricare approved doula provider and currently in 20 States, a Medicaid approved doula provider.
