Things in the US are certainly on this case State regulated so you will need to find out what you will need to study and what exams are need where you will be living.

 

Generally seems US does not really do midwives, as usual there are exceptions.

 

You should be able to work in another field whilst you sort the medical side out.

I believe becoming a midwife in the US does require you to have completed a degree/certificate program certified by the Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME). I'm not sure if there is a similar program in Morocco, but even if there is, I don't think it is likely that the credits or certification will transfer well to the USA. This means you may need to do new training/education in order to be a certified midwife in the US. 

 

You can certainly study for that while going to school to improve your English. You might want to consider taking a part time job at grocery store or a restaurant while you focus on studying English. If there is a large clinic or hospital in the area you will be living, consider applying for jobs there too, or even just volunteering there just to familiarize yourself with the local healthcare environment (if midwifery is a thing you want to continue doing in the US).

 

For now, focus on your upcoming interview and good luck.

You can definitely try to look into some private practices! The OB/GYN I use to work in had a ton of mid wives. I would look on the website Indeed and apply there as well as turn in your resume around the practices around your house.

I have been a nurse in the US for 15 years, previously in OB but mostly in Emergency.  There are no accredited nursing programs in Morocco that the US recognizes. I suggest you bring all your transcripts and depending on how long you have been practicing perhaps you could appeal to the board of nursing in your state, but it is likely you will have to start over again. 

 

I have worked with many people throughout the tears who were doctors or nurses in their home country but their education did not transfer and they had to start again. As a midwife you would have to work under an MD here - not on your own.

you have some good advice from Morocco above

luckily midwives are used in the Boston area u will go to

http://www.wbur.org/commonhealth/2016/03/03/midwives-massachusetts

 

they account for 44% of the births

 

there are also over 50 colleges and universities in the Boston area so i am sure u will find one to further your education and become a certified midwife there

no problem to study and work at the same time

as a matter of fact the casa embassy will ask your plans and you have a good one
