Looking for Midwifery Training?
Midwifery training in Canada
Canadian Midwifery Regulators
Consortium
Information about the regulation of midwifery in Canada for Canadian registered
midwives, internationally-educated midwives, and the general public.
The Colleges of Midwifery in each province are the accreditation bodies; Check
with them to see which courses are accredited. It is most likely that Nova Scotia
will follow similar criteria.
Other Training
If you are willing to go farther afield, here are some other links to get you
started:
- The MEAC (Midwifery
Education Accreditation Council ) website: this has a list of accredited
US-based schools for non-nurse midwifery. Remember that this does NOT mean
accreditation in Canada.
- Midwives College of Utah Includes
a link to information for Canadian students, and although this is geared mostly
toward British Columbia, it may be similar in nature to what is in store for
Nova Scotia.
- Birthwise Midwifery School
in Maine
- Frontier School of Midwifery
and Family Nursing (distance education)
- A masters thesis on the Experiences
and Education of Midwives in Three Canadian Provinces
- The website for the book, "Paths
to Becoming a Midwife: Getting an Education" - This book covers mostly
US options, but there is lots of good general information, and one of the
articles is posted on the website itself.
- June's
Midwifery Site, which is being currently rebuilt as "Midwifery Zone.com":
Scroll to the bottom of this home page and you'll find an interesting tabular
index with lots of links and information, including "universities and
schools." This site is international in scope
Of course, if you are wishing there were training right here in Nova Scotia
(or at least in the Maritimes) you could always write to the Minister or your
MLA...
