Status of Midwifery in Minnesota

The Minnesota midwifery-licensing bill was signed into law in July 1999. The Midwifery Advisory Council consists of three "traditional" (direct entry) midwives, one homebirth consumer and one OB physician. This Council advises the Board of Medical Practice (BMP) about "traditional" midwifery and is the first to see and process each application for licensure. The Council makes a recommendation to the BMP, where it is reviewed by a five-member BMP "licensure committee." If passed, it then goes to the full BMP for their approval/denial -- a three-stage process before a license is granted.

There are no plans to write 'rules and regs.' In the statute our protocols and scope of practice are taken directly from a Standards of Care document that was authored by a collective of midwives in the Minnesota Midwives' Guild.

The whole ordeal has gone very slowly. There have been delays and stall tactics, but we have persisted and pushed and prodded and FINALLY the first of hopefully many more have been granted a license!
