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