---I took the longest one. I went to a 3 year nursing diploma
program, worked as an L&D
for 8 years, attended a 1 year nurse-midwifery residency
certificate program (in the
USAF), and then worked as a CNM for 3 years. I then
earned a BSN (2 years) at the
University of N.M., worked again as a CNM for 3 years, and
then earned a MSN
(major maternity, minor teaching) at the University of
Texas. So that took 8 years!
---Others might complete a 4 year BSN program followed by a 2 year
nurse-midwifery
MS program.
---The shortest route to become a CNM would be through a basic nursing (AD)
program
of 2 years followed by a 1 year nurse-midwifery certificate
program.
Most programs recommend or require some nursing experience, usually as
an L&D nurse.
The criteria to write (ACNM) boards includes attendance at a program
approved by the ACNM and recommendation of the director of the program. To
get this recommendation, a minimum number of patient visits (NOBs, AP, GYN, FP,
PP), labor managements, and deliveries are required in addition to the approved
didactic course.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
