Birthingway College of Midwifery was a non-profit higher education institution based in Portland, Oregon, offering MEAC-accredited training for direct-entry midwives and related professions. The college provided a three-year midwifery certificate and a pathway to a Bachelor of Science in Midwifery (BSM) through an additional year of general education, along with training programs for labor and postpartum doulas, childbirth educators, and lactation consultants. Its services targeted individuals pursuing formal midwifery education and credentialing, as well as professionals seeking supplementary certifications in related areas. The organization operated within the higher education sector, positioning itself as a resource for foundational and advanced training in midwifery and associated disciplines. As of the end of 2022, Birthingway announced its closure, and its web page remains accessible to serve former students. The institution previously maintained a Greensboro, North Carolina office before relocating to Portland in 2015, reflecting a shift in its geographic footprint within the United States.
