Margaret Berreth, CNM, MSN

I have loved my time learning the art of medicine at UNC and am very excited to be able to put that knowledge to work as a primary care physician with the Department of Medicine. I thoroughly enjoy providing patients with comprehensive and patient-centered care. I am very passionate about increasing diversity within medicine, quality improvement, and using my love of the arts and theater background for the medical education of students and residents. Outside of work, I love to explore all the wonderful things the Triangle has to offer, hanging out with my dog Trooper (Golden Retriever and German Shepard mix) and endlessly trying to convince my friends to do karaoke with me.

A Louisville, Kentucky native, I have joined the UNC midwives after recently practicing as a midwife at a regional medical center in Alamance County. I began my nursing career as a registered nurse in critical-care settings for seven years and was introduced to midwifery practice at the delivery of my first child. Through this empowering experience I made the decision to transition to labor and delivery nursing where I practiced while completing my Masters of Nursing with a concentration in nurse-midwifery from East Carolina University. During my time at ECU I was selected as an APRN Rural Scholar, completing additional education and training focused on the delivery of care to rural and underserved communities. I seek to practice from a trauma-informed framework, acknowledging and respecting the complex backgrounds of all patients. When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, running, reading and being outdoors.

I am a native of North Carolina who began the path to midwifery after a wonderful pregnancy and birth experience with the midwives at the birth center in Chapel Hill. I achieved my goal of becoming a midwife after attending the program at East Carolina University, graduating in 2017. I have provided midwifery care in the hospital and community settings. I am honored to care for people throughout their lives, and especially love to provide holistic care for pregnancy. When I am at home, I enjoy reading, knitting, listening to music and spending time with my family.
