The CU College of Nursing received a $2 million grant to increase the number of midwives in rural areas of Colorado. The program supports the development of a Rural Midwifery Track and covers expenses (tuition, fees, stipend for living expenses) for three to five full-time students per year.
The University of Colorado College of Nursing Nurse-Midwifery (NMW) Program prepares the next generation of midwives to lead and transform the delivery of women's healthcare for the women of Colorado and the world, through excellence in clinical practice, education and research.

It is our goal to lead the nation in midwifery education, through clinical and teaching excellence, scholarship, leadership, and interprofessional endeavors. We accomplish this objective in the following ways:
Graduates of our program are eligible to apply for certification by examination from the American Midwifery Certification Board as Certified Nurse-Midwives. Upon successful completion of the board examination, Certified Nurse-Midwives are eligible for licensure in all 50 states, including Colorado (visit the Colorado Board of Nursing APRN application forms page), where licensure is granted as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN).
The Nurse-Midwifery Education Program at the University of Colorado seeks to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes - the head, hands, and heart of a safe, beginning practitioner, shaped by the following values:
Inclusiveness: we believe that midwifery education and midwifery care does not discriminate, but rather sets a standard for including everyone, regardless of race, socioeconomic status, gender and gender identity, country of origin, sexual orientation, or religious belief.
Cultural responsiveness: as midwives, we partner with patients and families from diverse cultural backgrounds. Therefore, we seek to educate practitioners who understand the importance of cultural beliefs and practices and hence align the provision of care with the beliefs of the patients to whom we provide care.
Students who are admitted to a program (or plan to apply to a program) that will graduate in 2026 or 2027 can apply to the Rural Midwifery Track when they complete their midwifery program application in NursingCAS. Please use the following application links and deadlines.
Courses are designated MS core, advanced core and specialty. Many courses are offered on-line for the MS core and the advanced core. The Nurse-Midwifery specialty core is hybrid-online. Hybrid courses are those in which there is some component of the course that requires travel to campus. Typically one week of travel to Denver is required for the last four semesters of the program.
No, you do not have to find your own sites. If you live in, or are willing to travel to, Metro Denver we will arrange all clinical sites for you. The College of Nursing has 4 faculty nurse-midwifery practices in the area and strong educational relationships with several community hospitals. These sites provide exceptional exposure and experiences for midwifery clinicals.
In the unusual situation that a rural or out-of-state student is unable to find a clinical preceptor, a student may be required to complete clinical experiences in the Denver Metro (seven counties) area to assure timely academic progression.
1) Understand the importance of supporting physiologic care in the postpartum period in relation to lactation
2) Describe the etiology of the inflammatory lactational mastitis spectrum
3) Identify risk factors and practices for increased inflammation and subsequent complications

CNMs provide a range of care for individuals inclusive of all gender identities and sexual orientations, including pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, and care of the newborn. They practice within a health care system that provides for consultation, collaboration, or referral as indicated by the health status of the client, in accordance with the Standards for the Practice of Midwifery, as defined by the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM).
The nurse-midwifery major at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing has had continuous accreditation from the ACNM since 1984. Nurse-midwifery graduates will be eligible to take the certification examination administered by the American Midwifery Certification Board.
The CNM program at Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing is designed to be completed over 7 to 8 semesters. You can view the standard curriculum on our curriculum webpage. One of the best aspects of the School's certified nurse-midwife program is that the school guarantees placement with a clinical preceptor for each student, which means students do not have to find their own clinical preceptor.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the growth expectation for nurse midwives is strong; BLS data shows a projected occupational growth of 31 percent from 2016 to 2026. (Cited figures accessed in May 2019)

WHO engages ministries of health, the Government Chief Nurses and Midwives (GCNMOs) and other relevant stakeholders to enable effective planning, coordination and management of nursing and midwifery programmes in countries. The Global Forum for the Government Chief Nurses and Midwives, established in 2004, is organized by WHO and meets every two years. It is a Forum for senior nursing and midwifery officials to develop and inform areas of shared interest. WHO also engages with academic institutions specialised in nursing and midwifery. Forty-seven academic centres are designated as Collaborating Centres for Nursing and Midwifery with WHO. The academic centres are affiliated to the Global Network of WHO Collaborating Centres for Nursing and Midwifery.
WHO has established a Nursing and Midwifery Global Community of Practice (NMGCoP). This is a virtual network created to provide a forum for nurses and midwives around the world to collaborate and network with each other, with WHO and with other key stakeholders (e.g WHO collaborating centres for nursing and midwifery, WHO Academy, Nursing and Midwifery Associations and Institutions.) The network will provide discussion forums, a live lecture programme, opportunities to develop and share policies, WHO documents and tools, and facilitated innovation workshops, masterclasses and webinars.
The Nursing and Midwifery Global Community of Practice is free to join and available to nurses and midwives everywhere. From May 2022 it will be possible to access the virtual community via a smartphone, by downloading the Nursing and Midwifery Global Community of Practice App Nurses Beyond the Bedside_WHO_CSW66 Side Eventavailable for Android and IOS system via the APP store.
The need for midwives is critical to address the alarming maternity care crisis in the United States where maternal mortality is rising and Black and Indigenous mothers die at three times the rate of White mothers. Midwives make a difference because they individualize care, addressing both the physical and the psychosocial needs of patients and their families. This high touch approach results in fewer preterm births and babies born at low birth weight, more vaginal births with fewer complications, and more enhanced bonding and successful and extended breastfeeding.
