The Marquette University Boland Institute for Natural Family Planning (NFP) teacher training program is a professional educational experience based on the standards of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The program prepares healthcare professionals to teach the Marquette Method of NFP approved by the USCCB.

Program Overview

This program is conducted online, with approximately 85% asynchronous online work and 15% synchronous online meetings. The program prepares the participant to provide professional NFP services and to qualify for certification through the Marquette Method Professional Association. The Teacher Training program is comprised of two courses - Foundations & Principles and Practical Applications. Students begin with the Foundations & Principles course, starting in either September or January. During the Practical Applications course, students are required to recruit and teach ten couples. Completion time for the full program is approximately thirteen months (not including summer or winter breaks).

Learning objectives: Foundations and Principles, Practical Applications

1.  The provider will gain the skills to dialogue with the woman/couple about the physiological, philosophical, and conceptual underpinnings of NFP and the Marquette Model (MM).

2. The provider will be able to implement and assess the delivery of NFP and MM services.

3.  The provider will be able to identify the unique diagnostic patterns of the menstrual cycle that reveal common health problems.

Target Audience:  The educational program is designed for health professionals e.g., professional nurse at least B.S.N. prepared, advanced practice nurses, physicians, physician assistants, PharmD, DPT, and RD, and other healthcare professionals that have been approved by the Institute.

Name of organization and contact information*

I understand that I will complete my teaching practicum by independently recruiting and teaching clients and building my own teaching materials, while under the supervision of a preceptor. I understand I will learn how to develop a sustainable program; thus, I am not able to work with an established Marquette Method organization during my preceptorship. (This does not prevent students from accepting tuition assistance from employers or other organizations.)
