NURSE-MIDWIFERY PROGRAM
PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES
Graduate education in Nurse-Midwifery (NMW) was established in 1990 with the goal of preparing scholarly, clinically competent nurse-midwives educated to meet the primary care needs of essentially healthy women across the life span, as well as providing care for normal newborns. The increasing availability of certified nurse-midwives also serves to reduce infant mortality and morbidity among underserved populations. In 2000, the curriculum was converted to a web-based format.
In addition to the admission procedures and graduation requirements of the School, nurse-midwifery students need to have completed an advanced health assessment course, have one year of experience as a registered nurse in maternal-child health care (labor and delivery experience highly recommended but not required), and be licensed as a registered nurse in Michigan. Options are also available for students who are not registered nurses.
