The National College of Midwifery strongly believes that the culturally sensitive, client centered, individualized care that midwives provide has the potential to bridge health disparities and counteract institutional racism and discrimination within maternity care systems.  NCM strives to take part in this important work by making midwifery education accessible to students of underserved populations who are passionate, willing and prepared to effectively serve the communities with which they identify.
