I have no formal education. And would like to know the fastest way to come a midwife. I am very intelligent and a fast learner so I feel I will have no problems in schooling. I heard you can go into the field as a direct entry midwife. I live in San Diego and was hoping to find a program here if possible. With so much information on the web it makes it somewhat hard to find the right answers. So I was wondering if there was someone out there that may guide me on the right path. Thank you in advance.

Since each state has different requirements, and I am not from California, I did a simple Google search and came up with this website that should give you the information you are looking for.
