* Based on a 1:4 clinical hour/clock hour ratio, It is important to note that the numbers of clinical hours should be
sufficient to meet the learning needs of students in these courses. However, because of the nature of the practice,
nurse-midwifery students may require additional hours to gain the experiences to successfully meet the Core
Competencies for Basic Midwifery Practice as outlined by the ACNM. Students are informed of this unique nature of
nurse-midwifery upon entry into Program and in each course.
