Pathways to Midwifery
Elizabeth Gilmore founded NCM as a larger expression of her conviction that, "We must remove barriers to midwifery education in order to improve outcomes for mothers and babies." Maternal health outcomes are affected by institutional racism and oppression. The value of providing accessible midwifery education to students from underserved populations is clear; our students identify with their own communities, understand the subtleties of their own people’s unique needs and hold the insight and the passion to effectively meet these needs. NCM is committed to making midwifery education as accessible as possible. Holding true to this ethic that midwifery knowledge should be common knowledge, NCM has always provided easy access to its academic curriculum, even for those not enrolled in a program.
