Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) are advanced practice registered nurses who specialize in providing care to women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. They are trained to offer a range of services, including prenatal care, labor and delivery support, and gynecological exams. CNMs focus on promoting natural childbirth and supporting women's health throughout their lives. To become a CNM, individuals must first earn a nursing degree and obtain a registered nurse (RN) license. They then complete a master's or doctoral program in midwifery, which includes clinical training. CNMs are certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board and can practice in various settings, including hospitals, birthing centers, and home births.
