Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME)
The Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME)* has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (under 'Health Care') as a programmatic accrediting agency for nurse-midwifery education programs since 1982. In 1994, ACME approved criteria to accredit direct-entry midwifery education programs; the first program was preaccredited in April 1996. ACME currently accredits programs offering nurse-midwifery and midwifery programs.
ACME is administratively and financially autonomous from the American College of Nurse-Midwives.
