Statement Regarding Decision Not to Pursue MEAC Accreditation

At this time, the Association of Texas Midwives Midwifery Training Program (ATMMTP) has decided not to pursue accreditation through the Midwifery Education Accreditation Council (MEAC). After careful consideration and a vote by our leadership in September, continuing to operate under our current structure allows us to best meet the needs of our students and the communities we serve.

One of the primary factors influencing this decision is our commitment to keeping tuition affordable for our students. We recognize the importance of providing accessible education that does not place a financial burden on those pursuing a career in midwifery.

We remain dedicated to providing high-quality midwifery education that upholds the standards set forth by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) and the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM). While we are not seeking MEAC accreditation at this time, we will continue to evaluate our program and make decisions that align with our mission and the evolving needs of our profession.

We thank you for your understanding and continued support of ATMMTP.
