How does a Certified Nurse Midwife differ from a physician?
The Certified Nurse Midwives with our practice have completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing in addition to a Master’s Degree in Science. Certified Nurse Midwives care for low-risk, healthy women and make referrals to an obstetrician/gynecologist when needed. Certified Nurse Midwives often spend additional time with patients during prenatal care and gynecological visits and provide labor support during childbirth.
