Course Overview

This intensive program will train you to help women and families enjoy positive and healthy pregnancy and birth experiences. All aspects of the preconception and childbirth continuum are addressed via theoretical preparation in university and supervised, mentored preparation in a clinical setting. Youll benefit from a case-based approach to learning, which is used to facilitate the development of the skills required of a competent midwife. Youll spend half of your time learning hands-on skills in clinical practice, and the other half learning the theory, mostly in the classroom but also in your own time.
