"Are larger babies in midwifery care because of undiagnosed gestational diabetes? GDM screening and perinatal outcomes among midwifery clients in British Columbia"
Dr. Elizabeth Nethery, RM, MSc, MSM, PhD, completed her doctoral work with the School of Population and Public Health at the University of British Columbia and is a Registered Midwife in British Columbia. She is a perinatal and reproductive epidemiologist with a broad interest in the impacts of research evidence on clinical practice. Her research uses quantitative analytic tools to explore midwifery outcomes from community births, reproductive health care and, most recently, changes in antenatal screening practices and diagnosis.
