(2) “Nurse-midwife” means a person who has demonstrated competence to practice nurse-midwifery through successful completion of an educational program accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education and who is certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board, and is licensed under the provisions of this chapter.

(2) by replacing “American College of Nurse-Midwives” with “Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education” and replacing “American College of Nurse-Midwives” with “American Midwifery Certification Board”.
