UC - San Francisco’s nursing school will graduate its final class of nurse-midwifery next spring .
The university will cancel its two-year master's program, along with other nursing disciplines, in favor of a three-year doctor of nursing practice, or DNP , degree.
The change is part of a national movement to require all advanced-practice registered nurses to earn doctoral degrees.
UCSF ’s switch to a doctoral degree will exacerbate the twin crises of maternal mortality and a shrinking obstetrics workforce across California and the nation.
The American College of Nurse-Midwives and trade associations denounce the doctoral requirement.
UCSF says the change is to ensure graduates are prepared for the challenges they will face in the evolving health care landscape.
There is no evidence that doctoral-level nurse-midwives will provide better care.
