Is becoming a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife) a viable career path?
Hi everyone, I'm a high school student who is exploring different options right now. I have always been interested in midwifery but I don't want to go into nursing and it seems like CNMs are the only type of midwife I see talked about. Because I have no interest in getting a nursing degree, being a part of the modern healthcare system, or working in hospitals, I don't want to be a CNM. However, it seems like there's a lot of negativity about CPMs, specifically that they don't have enough education or credentials, or that they're not in high demand or have high pay. Does anyone with experience being a CPM (or CM, L/DEM, doula, etc) want to chime in with your thoughts about taking this career path? What was the process like, is it worth it, does it pay well, is it looked down upon in comparison to CNMs...? Thanks in advance!
