Nurse-Midwife Board Review Course

This is a one-day board review for the AMCB Certification Exam to become a certified nurse-midwife. The presenters, Dr. Cara Busenhart and Dr. Melissa Stec, have been presenting for the review held at the annual ACNM Conference for many years. We cannot guarantee successful certification by AMCB with your attendance. However, we look forward to helping our attendees become better prepared for sitting for the AMCB certification exam.
