A Brief Overview A Certified Nursing Midwife provides medical care for women's reproductive health and childbirth. Their duties include providing reproductive care, family planning services and recordkeeping. Midwives provide comprehensive assessment, diagnosis and treatment. They conduct physical examinations; prescribe medications including contraceptive methods and controlled substances; admit, manage and discharge patients; order and interpret laboratory and diagnostic tests. In providing care they consult, collaborate, and refer to and with other health care professionals to ensure individuals receive team-based medical care consistent with medical needs and personal preferences.
