Nurse Midwifery

Program Description

The Nurse Midwifery Program is designed to prepare nurses as nurse midwives. The focus of the academic and clinical aspects of this program is the management of the health care of low-risk women and their newborns. While emphasis is placed on care during the childbearing cycle, the curriculum also includes study of women's health needs throughout the life cycle. Graduates are prepared for full scope midwifery practice, including well-woman gynecology, family planning, antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum, and normal newborn care. Intensive clinical experience is provided in each of these areas in a variety of settings, exposing students to diversity in patient populations and practice options. Students learn to provide independent care for healthy women and consultative or collaborative care for women with medical and/or obstetrical complications.

Graduates are eligible to take the national certifying examination administered by the American College of Nurse Midwives' Certification Council to become a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM). Graduates are also eligible to register with New York State as a licensed midwife.
