Family Nurse-Midwife

 Description


The Family Nurse-Midwife (FNM) program is designed to prepare culturally competent practitioners to provide health care to underserved populations. National workforce needs are emphasized in four distinct ways: a) collaboration with family practice physicians who practice obstetrics in underserved areas; b) provision of care to vulnerable populations such as underserved ethnic minorities; c) provision of primary care services to women who receive these services primarily in an OB-GYN setting, and d) provision of comprehensive primary care to all ages.  The goal of this focus is to prepare a practitioner who will bring a valuable skill mix to a variety of health care organizations.  <Program of Study>
