Program Details
The Nurse-Midwifery Graduate Certificate is the first nurse-midwifery program in Arizona. In this program, you will learn how to become a primary care provider to childbearing individuals. The care you provide is informed by a core belief in patient autonomy and the importance of supporting physiologic processes, including birth. Consideration may be provided in a variety of settings, including, but not limited to, private practice, community health centers, ambulatory clinics, hospitals, birthing centers, and the home setting.
The certified nurse-midwife (CNM) scope of practice includes gynecologic care, family planning, preconception care, and care of a healthy newborn for the first 28 days of life. As a CNM, the care you provide to individuals can be across a life span, inclusive of all gender identities and sexual orientations.
In this program, you will utilize state-of-the-art simulation learning centers at the Arizona Simulation Technology and Education Center (ASTEC) and the Steele Innovative Learning Center (SILC).
To qualify for entry into the Nurse-Midwifery Graduate Certificate program, you must have a degree in nursing as an advanced practice nurse.
The certificate requires a total of 900 hours of supervised clinical training.
Hybrid Program Delivery: Online coursework with on-campus components.
