Yes, there are different types of midwives who practice in Maine. While philosophical similarities exist, there are considerable differences in education, practice guidelines, and practice locations. Nurse-midwives are Registered Nurses (RNs) with advanced education and training in midwifery and women’s health who hold a national credential from the American College of Nurse Midwives(ACNM) titled Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM). A Masters of Science (MS) degree is currently required for entry into practice as a CNM in Maine.
