We understand that circumstances are varied and re-entry needs are unique. Applicants are encouraged to call and speak with an admissions counselor at 215-951-2943 for individualized information. Re-entry applicants will need to submit:
- Graduate Student Application marked “refresher process”
- Cover letter detailing your interest in the re-entry to clinical practice and readiness for the refresher process
- Professional CV/Resume with references
- Verification of all clinical license(s) – active or inactive
- Official Transcripts of all college/university courses, including basic midwifery education
- Proof of current or prior AMCB certification
- Have a personal interview with a potential clinical preceptor and a written promise to work toward a clinical site agreement with the university.
A phone/web-based faculty interview is arranged with the applicant when application materials are complete.
Students are responsible for identifying a clinical site during the application process (Clinical Site Form). Once a student is accepted into the re-entry process, the Institute processes a formal affiliation agreement with the proposed clinical site.
