GoMidwife offers ongoing education through our digital-based Modules of Midwifery (MOM) Program. Our program offers eight modules and two tracks. It is an independent study program which provides both flexibility and accountability to complete your midwifery academic coursework. Also offered is our Apprenticeship Management program (AMP). This program goes hand in had with your MOMs course. While MOM provides you the academic portion on your midwifery path, AMP helps you navigate the apprenticeship phase of the journey.
We can help you get where you want to go.

The Modules of Midwifery program offers one foundational and four academic modules. This is an independent study program which provides both flexibility and accountability to complete your midwifery academic coursework alongside the NARM PEP process.
To begin your NARM apprenticeship you will need to print off the Candidate Information Booklet (CIB) and the Entry Level PEP Application. Please take the time to read through the CIB and the PEP application.

Prior to attending births in Phase One you will need to enroll in a local CPR class for adults and infants. Currently CPR certifications need to be renewed every 2 years. Renewing your CPR is your responsibility. Acceptable programs include AHA and the Red Cross.
During Phase One you can attend births in any observable capacity. This means you can attend as a friend, sister, doula or birth photographer. You must document all births in your NARM form 110 and have a witness initial your paperwork. You do not need a qualified preceptor for this phase.
For Phases 2 and 3 you must work under a qualified and registered NARM preceptor. You are responsible for finding a qualified and registered preceptor and for navigating through 200+ pages of the NARM PEP application. Our Apprenticeship Management Program (AMP) helps connect you to potential preceptors while we walk with you through your application process.

You are now in Phase Two!
Attend our OOH NRP Class
Attend an In-Person
Skills Workshop
Step Seven
Step Eight
Step Nine
Attending Phase One births requires observation only, but now as you enter Phase Two you will be assisting in both prenatal care and births. There are many hands-on and necessary skills needed to enter this phase including taking blood pressure, venipuncture, auscultating fetal heart tones, setting IVs, etc. Join us for our in-person Skills Workshop to learn these valuable skills.
As you enter this exciting new phase you will need to be certified in Neonatal Resuscitation to begin attending births as a second phase student. In preparation for your certification you will need to take our on-line Out of Hospital (OOH) NRP class. Following our class you can register at your local hospital or community lead NRP class or attend our hands-on NRP session to complete your certification.
Access to this group will be made available to newly entering MOM students for free for the first three session. If you would like to continue to access this group afterwords is an annual subscription. This resource is open to all midwifery students and midwives regardless of whether they are in our program.

As you enter Phase Three it is important you are writing your protocols and practice guidelines. You will cover individual aspects during the MOMs course, but now is the time to put it all together. This can be a daunting task, attend our Protocols and Practice Guidelines Workshop for expert guidance.
You can attend this annual retreat at any point during your MOM course or apprenticeship and you can attend multiple times, but it is required for you to attend the retreat at least once prior to graduation. If you attend the retreat during your third phase we will offer Second Verification of Skills sign offs along with peer review.

Is this program MEAC accredited?
This program is set to run alongside the PEP apprenticeship process. This program will take you a minimum of 24 months to complete and will most likely take 3 years or more.
How long does MOM take to complete?
Answers to Our Most Common Questions
Not currently. Our students complete certification through the NARM PEP process. Most, but not all, states who recognize the CPM credential will accept the PEP process.
While we do recommend completing your academic program alongside the apprenticeship, we often have students who complete the academic portion prior to apprenticeship.
