The Professional Development Committee leads WAPC’s efforts to provide high-quality education and training opportunities for Wisconsin’s perinatal professionals. Committee members help identify timely topics, plan engaging webinars, and develop educational content that advances knowledge and practice across the perinatal continuum.

This committee is ideal for individuals passionate about lifelong learning and professional growth who want to help shape WAPC’s educational offerings. Members collaborate with peers to plan annual webinar series, contribute to conference programming, and ensure that WAPC’s educational content reflects current best practices and emerging issues in perinatal care.

The Wisconsin Association for Perinatal Care (WAPC) is revamping its Levels of Care designation process, which identifies hospitals with perinatal services based on the level and type of care they provide, a key step in ensuring that patients receive the right care, at the right place, at the right time.

WAPC is seeking qualified professionals to serve as volunteer team members in two roles:

• Review Team: A core group of professionals who attend on-site meetings, provide hands-on feedback on hospital self-assessments, ensure alignment with perinatal care standards, and build trusted relationships with hospitals and care providers.
• Advisory Team: A broader network of experts who contribute virtually on an ad-hoc basis, offering strategic insights and statewide guidance to strengthen the review process.

Together, both teams will play a vital role in evaluating Levels of Care self-assessment surveys and supporting collaborative on-site meetings at pilot and future designation sites.
