Regarding the Certified Nurse Midwives
CNMs are registered nurses that have completed a graduate level program in nurse-midwifery.
CNM educational programs are accredited by the American College of Nurse Midwives (ACNM) and recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. These programs must also meet the standards of the Board of Nurse Examiners for the State of Texas (BNE).
Re:Licensed Midwives
Licensed Midwives are direct-entry midwives. This means they are not required to be nurses. Their education in Texas is based on the current Core Competencies and Standards of Practice of the Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA) and the Texas Midwifery Basic Information and Instructor Manual, which is created and approved by the Texas Department of Health.
There are currently three direct-entry midwifery programs approved by the Texas Midwifery Board:
The Association of Texas Midwives Midwifery Program, Killeen
Maternidad la Luz, El Paso
Medical Training Institute of America Midwifery Program, Dallas
The Midwifery Board also has continuing education requirements for Licensed Midwives.
There are two nurse midwifery educational programs in Texas:
Parkland School of Nurse Midwifery, Dallas (affiliated with UT Southwestern Medical Center)
The U.T. Collaborative Nurse Midwifery Education Program, U.T.M.B., Galveston.
The BNE also has continuing education requirements for advanced practice nurses.
