Become a Midwife. 1  About the Midwifery Profession Midwives are primary health care providers to women throughout the lifespan. 2  Pathways to Midwifery Education Midwifery education programs leading to the CNM and CM credentials involve graduate education. Most programs require a Bachelors Degree for entry, but some will accept Registered Nurses (RNs) without a Bachelors Degree, providing a bridge program to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) prior to the midwifery portion of the program.
The CPM is the only midwifery credential that requires knowledge about and experience in out-of-hospital settings. Most CPMs own or work in private home or birth center based practices throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
