Purpose:
The purpose of the NUNM Midwifery Club page is to act as a place for all members to post about upcoming events concerning midwifery in the community, as well as promote club sponsored events/activities so that anyone who might have interest in the particular topic/event can participate. This will also be a place to notify club members of our upcoming club meetings. Club members are encouraged to share articles, links, and videos of relevance and interest to midwifery care. We hope that this can be another way for us to reach out and interact with our fellow NUNM students, engage in conversations, become familiar with who is in the program already, and include those that are interested in the midwifery club but have schedules that don't allow them to be as involved as they'd ideally like to be! Description of the Naturopathic Obstetric/Midwifery Certificate at NUNM:
The Naturopathic Obstetrics Certificate program provides the didactic education necessary for a graduate to complete requirements to sit for the American College of Naturopathic Obstetricians (ACNO) licensing examination. These courses are in addition to the single required obstetrics course in the ND program, and consist of one required course and six elective courses. The clinic requirements for licensure are not included in this certificate program, but those participating in the program have access to the clinical requirements through faculty practices and other local physicians. Students interested in pursuing this certificate program must apply to the program in order to ensure that they will be able to schedule the necessary classes around their naturopathic schedule. All courses are taught by NUNM faculty who are licensed by ACNO. Full certificate requirements are available on campus.
