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.
1 Certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) are trained as both nurses and midwives. 2  They have at least a bachelor's degree (and most also have a master's degree), and they must pass a national certification exam from the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) and receive a state license to practice. Certified midwives (CMs) are college-educated and certified by the ACNM. 2  Because this is a relatively new specialty, not every state licenses CMs. 3  Certified professional midwives (CPMs) are trained midwives who are certified by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM).
