I am beginning the process of searching for CNM preceptors for Clinicals. I am starting with plenty of time, but curious as to the best way to go about this. Should I send letters to the offices? Try to phone the midwives? Send emails? Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

Are you at Frontier? If so, they have a coordinator that will assist you with that.
Are you in the Denver area? We take almost exclusively Frontier and CU students at our facility - it's a large group of 25 midwives, three clinic settings as well as triage/L&D/postpartum, so it's a great experience.
Also, Mountain Midwifery (FSBC) and Center for Midwifery (CFM - one of the midwifery practices that delivers at the University) are both very Frontier-friendly and regularly precept Frontier students.
Feel free to PM me for more info

You can also look into attending a local chapter meeting of your city or state's ACNM affiliate, and start introducing yourself to midwives. They are a great place to network and learn about the political issues concerning midwives in your area.

This was my idea as well. My local chapter has an email listserv and a FB group too, both fairly active.
