Midwifery Education Programs

Midwifery education programs are post-baccalaureate programs that provide all the essential components of the midwifery curriculum as defined by the two ACNM documents: Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviors Prerequisite to Midwifery Clinical Coursework and Core Competencies for Basic Midwifery Practice. Midwifery education programs must also have the essential elements for program implementation as defined in the Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME) Criteria for Accreditation documents. They must also be incorporated into programs of professional studies which grant academic degrees at master or doctoral levels.
