About Midwifery

 

 


The program recommends that students enrol with the College of Midwives Subscriber Status and join the Association of Ontario Midwives as a student member.

 

Graduation from the Midwifery Education Program does not guarantee registration with the College of Midwives. All applicants to the College must meet additional registration requirements. New graduates are required to work in an established practice for their first year of registration.

 

Regulatory requirements are subject to change from time to time. The program will maintain a close working relationship with the regulatory body so that students obtain the required competencies and clinical experiences to be eligible for registration.
