MASTER'S PROGRAMS
WOMEN'S HEALTH CLINICAL NURSE
SPECIALIST - MIDWIFERY TRACK
The
Women's Health Clinical Nurse Specialist/Nurse-Midwifery Track is offered by the
Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing in
collaboration with Shenandoah University. The Nurse-Midwifery Track at
Shenandoah University is fully accredited by the
American College of Nurse-Midwives.
This program prepares graduates as a women's health clinical nurse specialist
and a certified nurse-midwife. Graduates will receive a Master of Science in
Nursing from Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing and a certificate of
completion of the nurse -
midwifery program from Shenandoah University. Graduates are eligible to sit
for the national certification exam given by the
American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB).
Course content focuses on role development, advanced assessment and management
of women's health, and primary women's health throughout the lifespan. More than
720 hours of clinical experience are offered in all aspects of the midwifery
process in a wide variety of ambulatory and community sites, including rural and
medically underserved health care settings. Full-time or part-time study is
available.
Enhanced informatics technology, course development, and program recruitment is
made possible by three years of funding from the U.S. Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA). The $688,500 grant, awarded to SUDON, aims to
increase the number of practicing nurse-midwives in the rural underserved areas
of Virginia, but will also benefit Hopkins students who choose to work in other
locations after graduation.
Questions regarding curriculum and career opportunities should be addressed to
