Indigenous participation in Midwifery is important. With an understanding that Indigenous learners can face specific barriers or challenges when pursuing higher education, schools and programs within McMaster’s Faculty of Health Sciences have a facilitated admissions streams for applicants with Indigenous North American (First Nations, Inuit or Métis) ancestry. This process is intended to provide equitable access to Indigenous applicants. In alignment with the Faculty of Health Sciences Facilitated Indigenous Admissions Program (FIAP), applicants wishing to apply through McMaster’s FIAP need to complete a supplementary self-identification application in addition to McMaster University and program specific application processes.
To encourage Indigenous applicants and to counter some of the systemic disadvantages that may make the application process harder to access midwifery education, the McMaster Midwifery Education Program offers the following additional admission support.
