Clinical Faculty

Clinical Faculty are registered midwives who run active practices in British Columbia and devote significant time to training and mentoring midwifery students. The Midwifery Program can only fulfill its mandate with the dedicated participation of preceptors who prepare midwifery students for practice. Clinical faculty enjoy many of the same benefits available to full-time academic faculty, such as travel and buying discounts. The Faculty of Medicine’s website lists Clinical Faculty benefits under Services & Perks.

All UBC Preceptors must have Clinical Faculty Appointments with the Faculty of Medicine. Only a few exceptions apply to non-midwife and interprofessional clinical placements.
