Abstract
The Nurse-Midwifery (NM) specialty is designed to prepare clinically competent midwives who provide family-centered primary health care across the lifespan. Clinical experiences with individuals and groups, incorporated throughout the two years, emphasize use of the midwifery management process as a framework to provide health care. Relevant research and concepts from midwifery, nursing, medicine, and the sciences are studied to provide a base of theory and rationale for clinical practice and primary care. Students are expected to examine their midwifery and nursing practice critically and to develop beginning skills in the evaluation of research methods and statistics. Leadership capabilities are emphasized.
