Kathleen Reutter’s introduction to birth work began in 2007 in a maternity clinic in Mali, West Africa where she conducted a research project. Since then she has had the honor of working in a variety of health care settings across the U.S., including primary care clinics, reproductive health clinics, birth centers, and hospitals. She graduated from the University of California, San Francisco in 2018 as a Certified Nurse-Midwife and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner.
Prior to joining University Nurse-Midwives, Kathleen worked as a midwife at a freestanding birth center in Boulder. In addition to her role at UNM, she also cares for patients at a sexual health clinic in Denver. Kathleen believes in meeting patients where they are. She is deeply committed to reproductive justice, evidence-based practice, and honoring her patients’ own knowledge about their bodies.
Outside of work, Kathleen enjoys running, cooking, and listening to podcasts, along with spending time with family and friends, and her two cats.

Bachelor's in Nursing: Traditional Pathway
The Traditional Pathway is a full-time, 24-month Bachelor of Science option, designed for students who may or may not have earned a degree in the past. This program includes classroom, clinical simulation, and clinical practice as part of the curriculum. The Traditional Pathway program will be primarily offered at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. However, Traditional students may be required to attend some classes or labs at the CU South Denver location in Lone Tree. Students interested in the Traditional Pathway option apply through NursingCAS before the application deadline. Once admitted, students begin their program the following summer semester. The pace of the Traditional Pathway facilitates the integration of learning and acknowledges that students balance a number of responsibilities while completing their nursing education. However, please note that this is a full-time program of study; many students find it difficult to work more than 10-20 hours per week.
