Before a Clinical Faculty Application can be approved, the midwife or other healthcare provider must have their healthcare practice approved as a Clinical Site at NMI regardless of the location where care is provided. Clinical Sites should ensure they meet the criteria outlined in the Clinical Site Guidelines. When completing the Clinical Site Application, please gather the following documentation that will be required:

    • submit proof of inspection by local and/or state authorities. If you do not have access to this proof of inspection complete the attached Clinical Site Safety Checklist and upload with your application.

Clinical Faculty Application Process

To apply as a new clinical faculty at NMI complete the following:

  • Step 1: If you have a student that you intend to work with, please ensure the student you intend to work with has submitted a New Clinical Placement Application form. This form can be found on the apprenticeship page of their student portal. Please be aware that the student’s application approval is contingent on Clinical Faculty and Clinical Site Application approval.

  • Step 2: Complete NMI’s Clinical Faculty Application.

  • Step 3: Complete NMI’s Clinical Site Application (this may be completed by Administrative Staff at the Clinical Site, only one per site).

Upon approval of the Clinical Faculty, Clinical Site, and Clinical Placement Application forms, each approved Clinical Faculty member will be required to complete a NMI issued Student-Clinical Faculty Work Agreement. NMI will email these documents to the Clinical Faculty and Student.
