Program Description
The Advanced-Practice Certificate in midwifery is a distance education program with required on-campus intensives for aspiring midwives who already hold a graduate degree in a health-related field, such as an MSN, DNP, or MPH. The curriculum can be completed in a 2-year accelerated format or 3-year format. In either format, the final four semesters (clinical rotation portion) are full-time. This accredited program leads to eligibility to sit for the American Midwifery Certification Board exam. Graduates are eligible to earn certification as either a Certified Nurse-Midwife or Certified Midwife. Applicants may be eligible for the Advanced Placement Option.
