It includes a Bridging Program enabling internationally educated midwives to prepare for registration to practice in BC and a thriving Continuing Professional Development section. A half dozen faculty members have funded research projects and have numerous published contributions to the knowledge base for Midwifery. UBC Global Health provides International Midwifery consultation and provides students learning experiences in Uganda and Nepal. UBC has something to offer all those interested in Midwifery.
