What major does a midwife fall under?

A midwife typically falls under the major of nursing or maternal and child health, often requiring a specialized degree in midwifery. Many midwives hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) or a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) with a focus on midwifery. Additionally, some programs offer specific midwifery degrees, such as a Master of Midwifery. This educational path includes training in prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum support.
