Distance and Low Residency Opportunities
Several MEAC-accredited midwifery schools offer at-a-distance or low residency programs. These programs enable students to complete much of their education through an online format and through local preceptorships and apprenticeships (when available). Each of these individual programs may involve different amounts of time spent away from one’s home to complete graduation requirements.
If at this time, there aren’t any MEAC-accredited schools physically located in your area that you could attend on a weekly basis, one of these at-a-distance or low residency programs might be the best choice for you. These programs were designed because many aspiring midwifery students, like you, are not able to or are not interested in relocating to attend school and yet we need more midwives all across the country!
Contact info@meacschools.org for a list of schools that offer distance education or low residency programs.
