Midwife Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a midwife in New York?
To become a licensed midwife in New York, you must obtain a Certified Nurse-Midwife license through the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions. This requires completing an accredited graduate-level nurse-midwifery program, holding an active registered nurse license in New York, and passing the American Midwifery Certification Board examination. New York also licenses Certified Midwives who are not nurses, under the same NYSED office, through a parallel pathway that requires an accredited midwifery program and the same AMCB exam.
How much do midwifes make in New York?
Midwifes in New York earn a median of about $144,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $104,860 for the lowest 10% to over $177,240 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire midwifes in New York?
Employers hiring midwifes in New York right now include University of Rochester, OULA, and Sun River Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. New York's large integrated health systems and its network of federally qualified health centers are among the most consistent sources of midwifery openings across both clinical and community settings.
Which New York cities have the most midwife jobs?
The cities with the most midwife openings in New York are Rochester, New York, and Bronx. New York City drives the largest share of demand through its concentration of major academic medical centers, public hospital systems, and community health organizations, while Buffalo and Albany contribute steady volume from regional health systems and university hospital affiliates anchoring those metro areas.
Are there remote midwife jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. Midwifery is a hands-on clinical role and the overwhelming majority of positions require in-person patient care. About 0% of midwife openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions typically involve telehealth triage, prenatal consultation, or care coordination rather than direct labor and delivery responsibilities.
How can I get hired as a midwife in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to a new graduate or residency program specifically designed for CNMs with limited clinical hours beyond their training. NYC Health and Hospitals and Montefiore Health System have supported new-graduate midwifery onboarding within their labor and delivery units. Candidates who hold an active New York CNM or CM license and can show robust clinical training hours from an accredited program are competitive. Lateral entry from a registered nurse role in labor and delivery or women's health is a common stepping stone at community hospitals and federally qualified health centers across the state.
Where can I find and apply to midwife jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to midwife jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state right now. Find a role that fits and apply directly from the listing.
