Registering as a Midwife in Manitoba
In Manitoba, Canada, the Legislation regulating the profession of midwifery requires that an applicant must have completed:
Formal Programs of study that are currently acceptable to the College include:
Assessment Process The College is currently involved in developing a bridging program called the Multi-jurisdictional Midwifery Bridging Program (MMBP). The MMBP supports midwives who have been educated outside of Canada in making the transition to working in the Canadian health care system and in the Canadian model of midwifery. Both a seven-month program, with intensives, distance accessible components and a three month clinical placement, and an accelerated option are available. The College of Midwives of Manitoba is no longer offering a Prior Learning and Assessment program. For more information on applying to the Multi-jurisdictional Midwifery Bridging Program, go to www.midwiferybridging.ca. This site is being updated regularly. Labour Mobility In addition to the above routes to registration, the Agreement on Internal Trade, Chapter 7 - Labour Mobility in Canada will allow for consideration for registration as a midwife in Manitoba if you are currently registered/licensed as midwife in another Canadian province or territory. Please contact the College of Midwives of Manitoba for more information. Further Updateskanácí otinawáwasowin Baccalaureate Program The kanácí otinawáwasowin Baccalaureate Program (KOBP) is a new, innovative post-secondary program that provides education in Aboriginal midwifery. As one of the first programs of its kind in the world, the KOBP is based on a mentoring model of instruction rooted in Aboriginal values and traditions; Aboriginal ways of knowing and learning will be employed in all aspects of programming and practice. The KOBP is housed in the University College of the North (UCN). Beginning in 2010 UCN will be exanding its Aboriginal Midwifery Education Program to southern Manitoba.
