- Abstract
New graduate nurse-midwives are looking for a bridge between their education and clinical practice, whereas birth centers often have a difficult time recruiting midwives to hire. At the same time, women are seeking birth center and midwifery care in growing numbers. A well-designed fellowship program helps address all of these needs in a supported, safe way. This article describes one birth center's fellowship program and the benefits and challenges of the program. This article is part of a special series of articles that address midwifery innovations in clinical practice, education, interprofessional collaboration, health policy, and global health.
