Midwifery Education Program

Midwives provide primary care to people with low-risk pregnancies throughout pregnancy, labour, childbirth and six weeks postpartum. The McMaster Midwifery Education Program’s strong focus on clinical placements and active learning opportunities in the field prepares students to register as midwives after four years of study. By graduation, learners will have assisted in 50+ births.

The Midwifery Education Program’s approach assures the acquisition of the knowledge, skills and values needed to begin and to continue practicing midwifery.
