Abstract
The United States is in the midst of a maternity care crisis. A key driver is workforce shortages, which impacts maternity care service delivery in rural areas significantly. The midwifery model of care remains underutilized. Midwifery care delivered by certified nurse-midwives and certified midwives is heavily endorsed and supported in the extant literature, but no firm national actions have been taken to move recommendations into funding or practice. Certified nurse-midwives and Certified Midwives are able to care for low-risk pregnancies and are uniquely situated to address factors associated with social determinants of health in rural areas. One of the solutions to the rural maternity care crisis is scaling up the midwifery workforce. Individual, institutional, state, and federal factors are discussed.
