What kind of training do registered midwives have?
Registered Midwives practicing in Alberta have various education backgrounds. Some were trained through apprenticeship training models, some were educated in other countries such as England, The States and Australia, and others attended university based education programs in Canada. Midwives have up-to-date certification in emergency skills for both mothers and newborns. Regardless of how they are trained, all registered Midwives have been assessed and met the stringent criteria set out by the Midwifery Health Disciplines committee in order to practice in Alberta. As a pregnant woman and/or her partner – you can feel confident that you will have a highly skilled professional caring for you.
