Virginia here...warm greetings!

I have been thinking long and hard on the midwifery field, and have recently come to the realization that it just feels right :) I have had 4 children, all were born healthy, and yet I felt like something was missing in the experience. After scouring the internet and reading threads and various websites...

Re: direct-entry programs

I agree with you, Hypnomama. If I'm not mistaken, there are some states that require graduation from a MEAC-accredited program for licensure. The schools I'm looking at (Birthingway College of Midwifery, Florida School of Traditional Midwifery) offer didactics (via on-campus classes, timeframes...

Re: direct-entry programs

Re: Exploring the field of midwifery

The Farm, yes. Florida School of Traditional Midwifery has a Midwifery Assistant program. So does International School of Midwifery. I'm sure there are others, too. I'm choosing DEM because I feel that midwifery and nursing are two separate fields. I have no interest in nursing. Also, I want...
