Course of Study
Introduction
The Midwifery Program's course can be completed in 4-6 years.
- The course of study is divided into 4 levels. Initially, students complete academic coursework on a full-time or part-time course load.
- Academic course loads may vary depending on transfer credits.
- All academic courses must be completed before beginning clinical courses.
- Clinical segments of the program cannot be completed on a part-time basis. Clinical placements/practicums can involve being on call 24 hours a day, and students must organize their work and life schedules to accommodate the demands of clinical work. Clinical segments of the program include Normal Childbearing, Midwifery: Complications and Consultation, Midwifery: Maternal and Newborn Pathology, and Clerkship as well as two terms of Interprofessional Placements.
