MSN Nurse-Midwifery at University of Pennsylvania

University of Pennsylvania, United States

Programme overview

We prepare you for a midwifery practice focused on providing family-centered, comprehensive care to essentially healthy people and their families. We believe that the autonomous practice of midwives is based on the health promotion model and interdependent practice—a system that emphasizes the unique aspects each health professional brings to the care of a client. Our graduates go on to become home-birth practitioners, birth center practice directors, directors of midwifery educational programs, and directors of CNM services in large teaching and small community hospitals.
