Are your midwives the equivalent of APRN-CNMs in the US? Most people that talk about midwives never specify the type of midwife and that can vary wildly.

- lemming 7y agoI don't know - I don't know what APRN-CNM means and I wouldn't know how to evaluate whether the training here is equivalent or not. Midwives here receive 4 years of training I believe.
- lsaferite 7y ago> An Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) is a nurse who has at least a master's degree in nursing, and sometimes a doctorate in nursing. > A Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) is a medical professional who oversees every facet of a woman's obstetric care. This includes pre-conception counseling, prenatal care, labor and delivery, and post-partum care. The requirements for becoming a CNM are a nursing license, a midwife license, and a certification from the American College of Nurse Midwives.
