Midwife Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a midwife in Pennsylvania?

To practice as a certified nurse-midwife in Pennsylvania, you must hold an active RN license through the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing, complete an accredited graduate-level nurse-midwifery program, and pass the AMCB certification exam. You then apply for prescriptive authority and CNM recognition through the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine. Pennsylvania does not separately license certified professional midwives for out-of-hospital birth under a distinct state board at this time.

How much do midwifes make in Pennsylvania?

Midwifes in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $119,990 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $77,620 for the lowest 10% to over $158,520 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire midwifes in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania midwife roles are posted by Thomas Jefferson University & Jefferson Health, Penn Medicine, and Penn State Health and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Large integrated health systems with multiple Pennsylvania campuses, including academic medical centers, tend to post the most consistent volume of midwifery openings across the state.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most midwife jobs?

Lancaster, Monroeville, and Philadelphia lead Pennsylvania for midwife openings. Philadelphia drives the largest share through its dense concentration of academic medical centers and health systems, Pittsburgh follows with UPMC and Allegheny Health Network anchoring demand, and Allentown reflects the Lehigh Valley's rapidly growing suburban population and expanding Lehigh Valley Health Network footprint.

How can I get hired as a midwife in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate CNM residency or fellowship programs, which UPMC and Penn Medicine have offered for newly certified midwives transitioning from RN roles. Candidates who build labor and delivery RN experience at Pennsylvania community hospitals before certification are consistently competitive. A completed AMCB certification, a Pennsylvania CNM authorization, and documented clinical hours from your graduate program are the credentials that open the most doors for candidates without post-certification work history.
