Tuskegee, in Macon County, Alabama, has played an important role in Alabama's midwifery legacy and was home to 2 different midwifery education programs from the 1920s through the 1940s. In response to a 1918 state law requiring midwives to pass an examination to receive a practice permit in their county, stakeholders developed a four-week course for Black Alabamian midwives on the grounds of Tuskegee Institute at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital. In the 1940s, in the same location on the grounds of Tuskegee Institute, the Tuskegee School of Nurse-Midwifery educated Black nurse-midwives to improve Black maternal and neonatal outcomes in the South.
塔斯基吉（Tuskegee）位于阿拉巴马州梅肯县，在阿拉巴马州的产科学术传统中发挥了重要作用，并且在 20 世纪 20 年代到 40 年代期间，曾有 2 个不同的助产士教育项目在这里开展。为响应 1918 年的一项州法律，该法律要求助产士在其所在县通过考试才能获得执业许可证，利益相关者在塔斯基吉学院约翰·A·安德鲁纪念医院的场地上为非裔美国助产士开设了为期 4 周的课程。20 世纪 40 年代，在塔斯基吉学院的同一地点，塔斯基吉护理助产士学校培养了黑人护理助产士，以改善南方黑人产妇和新生儿的结局。
