UK Midwife in the USA
Hi! I am a student midwife thinking about my future, I am a direct entry student on to the Bsc Midwifery course in Scotland but I am keen to find out about opportunities abroad. Do registered midwives exist in the usa? Is it the same in Canada?

There are midwives but not in all states and I think their level is at masters. If you need a employer to get a visa for working then at minimum you need to be a general RN and meet state requirements and then get assessed for midwifery. Google CNM in the USA for further info
