ACME Accredited Programs
The programs listed below have met the ACME criteria and are accredited by ACME for their midwifery education program. ACME awards 3 types of accreditations: preaccreditation, initial accreditation, and continued accreditation. Preaccreditation is a type of accreditation that is awarded to new programs that have met the ACME criteria. Initial Accreditation is a type of accreditation that is awarded after the preaccreditation phase. Note: If a program is in the preaccreditation or initial accreditation phase, this does not mean that the program is not accredited. The type of accreditation reflects the length of the accreditation and frequency of the ACME review. All programs listed below are considered accredited by ACME; and graduates of these programs are considered graduates of an ACME accredited program and are eligible for the AMCB certification exam.
Type I: Preaccreditation – Duration: up to 5 years
