Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM) and Certified Midwives (CM) attend to women and their
babies during pregnancy, labor and childbirth, and during the first days after birth. In
addition, they provide women’s health care throughout the lifespan with special
emphasis on reproductive and gynecologic health.
Certified nurse midwives are a type of advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) who
have at least a master’s degree and specializes in women’s reproductive health and

the authority to prescribe medications. Certified Midwives (CM), recognized in a few

Both types have to pass the same certification examination of the American Midwifery
Certification Board (AMCB). As of February 2019, there were 12,218 CNMs and 102 CMs in
the US. The National Center of health statistics in the US reported that CNMs and CMs
attended 351,968 births, which represented 9.2% of the 3.8 million births during 2017.
