Midwifery Education

Education programs are approved by the CMM when it completes an extensive program assessment process that determines that the program meets CMM education standards and policies. Approved program graduates must meet both the entry-level competencies and the clinical experience requirements as set out in the Midwifery Regulation, and must have written and passed the Canadian Midwifery Registration Exam

All current CMM-approved programs are Canadian four-year direct-entry education programs leading to a university degree. All programs offer clinical experience working in a model of practice that is the same or very similar to the model in Manitoba. Graduates from all approved programs must complete the Jurisprudence Exam prior to registration.
