As members of an ancient and respected profession, midwives have provided advice and assistance in childbirth for centuries. Each year, nurse-midwives assist in more than 100,000 births in the United States and these numbers continue to rise. This tradition of personal, family-centered care continues today at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
We offer the services of midwives who have extensive teaching experience, practical expertise in labor and delivery and the skills to provide routine gynecological care to healthy women. All nurse-midwives at the University of Maryland have advanced degrees in nursing and are certified by The American College of Nurse-Midwives through a rigorous testing process.
