Midwifery
The Doctorate of Nurse Midwifery Program at Fairfield University’s Marion Peckham Egan School of Nursing and Health Studies has received a five-year accreditation through the Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME), according to a press release. The program, which had been pre-accredited by ACME since its 2017 inception, offers faculty-supervised clinical experience in attending births and providing primary, gynecologic, antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum, newborn, and breastfeeding care.
Noting the program’s focus on perinatal palliative care and trauma-informed care, Program Director Jenna LoGiudice, PhD, CNM, RN. pointed to the 2020 graduating class’s 100% certification rate. “The accreditation from ACME recognizes the work of our faculty and students alike in promoting excellence in the midwifery profession,” she said.
