UBC will graduate more midwives to provide care for B.C. families, thanks to an increase in midwifery program seats announced by the Government of B.C.
The expansion adds 20 new seats to UBC’s midwifery program, bringing the total annual intake to 48. This includes 12 new seats in the bachelor of midwifery program, and eight new seats in the Internationally Educated Midwives Bridging Program (IEMBP). The IEMBP is an eight-to-10- month program that allows internationally educated midwives to become registered to practise in B.C. and is the only program of its kind in Canada.
