Foreign Educated Nurse-Midwives

The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) welcomes your interest in the profession of midwifery in the United States (U.S.). We acknowledge the contributions that foreign-educated nurse-midwives (FENMs) and foreign educated midwives (FEMs) have made to the health of women and babies around the world. Today, as in the past, FENMs/FEMs who become certified and join the ACNM enrich the profession of midwifery with their diversity.
