The Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME)* has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a programmatic accrediting agency for nurse-midwifery education programs since 1982. In 1994, ACME approved criteria to accredit direct-entry midwifery education programs; the first program was preaccredited in April 1996. In 2006 ACME was recognized as an institutional accreditor.
