Today's CNM is an advanced practice nurse who is qualified to provide health care for women and
their newborns during the childbearing cycle as well as provide reproductive and primary care to
women throughout their lifespan. Nurse-midwifery is an exciting, dynamic profession that offers
many options for work in both national and international health care, including clinical practice,
research, policy and education.
Our nurse-midwifery program is consistently ranked among the top ten programs in
the U.S. Our faculty include leaders in research and practicing clinicians. The curriculum is designed
to provide nurse-midwifery students with a solid foundation in clinical science, evidence-based practice,
methods of systematic inquiry and professional leadership skills. Students gain exposure to rich and
diverse clinical learning opportunities through placement with collaborative community preceptors.
In addition, nurse-midwifery students have the opportunity to participate in international maternal-child
health education experiences through the
Citizens of the World Scholars program.
Distance learning opportunities are available.
The University of Washington graduate nurse-midwifery education program is fully accredited by the
ACNM Accreditation Commission
for Midwifery Education (formerly ACNM Division of Accreditation).
