What roles do certified nurse midwives (CNMs) play in gynecology?
Certified nurse midwives are advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) with specialized training in midwifery and women's health. They typically hold a master's or doctoral degree in nursing and must pass a national certification exam. CNMs provide a range of services, including prenatal care, labor and delivery support, postpartum care, and routine gynecological exams.
