Hello @Daeron, I just wanted to say that I have a dance/visual arts background, planning to Nurse Midwife/Women's Health Nurse Practitioner track, and I am a queer man! I have the same question about how male students might be received in the program. That would be so nice to hear from the fellow students about what they think! In response to your question, what I can say that there are definitely male (AMAB) or male identifying folx practicing in the field, and some programs (like the midwifery program at OHSU in Oregon) even encourages specifically male students to apply. What I gather from the male RNs working in the L&D units is that some pregnant people do not feel comfortable and do not prefer to be seen and helped by male nurses. I understand that, because I actually want to be there for them at my best capacity to facilitate their informed decision making process. Also, when there is a student who struggles at school because of their gender, Yale carefully adjusts its policies accordingly. I know that from a tgnb student's story in the Physician's Assistant program at Yale. Good luck with your application!

Hi think34, Thank you for starting this thread. I signed up to one of the information session days, however I was not able to attend. I called the department and asked them if they would have any info sessions in the Fall. I was told that the person I talked to needed new staff to be able to organize info sessions. If the department doesn't hire anyone, then there will be none. I am planning to visit the campus and department in the Fall semester by myself and wondering if you could share some more about what the info session was like? Thank you so much again!
