I know this was posted a while ago, but in case others were searching this same question I thought I could leave my 2 cents... I have actually attended both places. I started at Frontier, attended Bound once, and completed my first semester. It was not the place for me. I was told I thought "too much like a labor and delivery nurse, but that's OK, we'll teach it out of you." Which as a proud L&D nurse I was offended. The education I received was very anti-intervention, and had an underlying anti-hospital/anti-doctor vibe. I couldnt get out of there fast enough. I am now completing my 3rd semester at Georgetown and I love it. Yes it's expensive, but it's just money and you cant take it with you. I love the "in-person" feel of weekly zoom classes and they kept me motivated to get my work done because itwas just like a real class. Every instructor I've had has been excellent. My clinical placement team has found me not one but 2 preceptors for the upcoming semester. They do take referrals if you have a colleague or midwife who would like to precept you. I think those who have had trouble getting placed are those in highly concentrated areas for the skill set. Im in Idaho and not many people are in school for midwifery so it's easier to find placement. I would recommend Georgetown, but I think you have to pick the one you feel is the best place for you.
