Scope Of Practice

The scope of midwifery practice shall be as set forth in Tennessee Code Annotated, Sections 63-29-102(9) and (10) and 63-29-115. As an aid to interpretation and application of that scope of practice, the Council adopts, as if fully set out herein, and as it may from time to time be amended, the “Practice Guidelines” issued by the Tennessee Midwives Association. In the event that the “Practice Guidelines” are in conflict with any portion of Tennessee Code Annotated §§ 63- GENERAL RULES GOVERNING CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL CHAPTER 1050-05 MIDWIVES 29-101, et seq. (Midwifery Practice Act) the “Midwifery Practice Act” shall govern. Information on how to acquire a copy of the “Practice Guidelines” may be obtained by contacting the Board’s administrative office.
