During this week course material will be covered and all new students must attend. Students will be expected to cover their own travel costs and partially cover accommodation and meals. Every effort will be made to place the student in midwifery teaching practices closest to their home. Northern students will be given preference for clinical placements in the North. However, there are often areas of the province where there are not enough preceptors to meet the demand and students must be prepared to relocate for the clinical terms.
Clinical terms comprise at least half of the programme.
Students must be prepared to assume all transportation costs for clinical experiences. Students should be aware that some courses are offered only via distance education formats. Please consider these challenges carefully and discuss them with those people who will support you through this process. Should your application be successful, you will need their understanding over the next few years. We hope you will find this useful in your application to the Midwifery Education Programme.
