ACNM Workforce Study

ACNM IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM:

Midwifery is associated with a host of good outcomes for childbearing individuals, yet most people in the United States do not have access to midwives.

Starting in 2022, ACNM conducted a two-year Midwifery Workforce Study (funded by the Johnson & Johnson Foundation) that identified policy changes needed to expand the midwifery workforce to optimum capacity. 

The Midwifery Workforce Study researchers analyzed publicly available data and data collected by the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB) and the Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME), to provide the most accurate evaluation of the current midwifery workforce size, capacity, and growth trajectory.
