Any US-trained CNMs qualified and working abroad?

[LookingAhead]

I'm wondering if there are any CNMs here who completed their education in the US but are currently working as qualified midwives in another country. I will shortly be entering an Accelerated BSN/MSN program to become a CNM and anticipate that my career will largely be in the US - but I am curious as to whether or not I would be able to work as a registered midwife abroad if I wanted to.

I realize that each country has its own protocols (and it doesn't look very promising in terms of US CNMs being able to transfer our credentials elsewhere), but I just thought I would see if any of the helpful members of AN could help me cut through all of the confusion!

If anyone here is US-educated but currently registered as a midwife elsewhere, particularly in Europe, it would be great to hear what country you're working in and what the basic process was for getting qualified. If not, well then perhaps I have my answer right there...:)

So i'm not working as a midwife, but i was just researching this the other day. I found this website about working in the UK. I'm not sure about other countries.. but it looks like it is possible to be a midwife in the UK with CNM training. You might just have to go through a training program at a uni in the UK.

Hope this helps. :)

I know in Canada, they require you to be licensed in whatever country you're coming from, and then take a roughly 9-month "bridge" course before registering as a Canadian midwife.
