The post-basic certificate program in Maternal Infant Child Healthcare is designed for registered nurses and other healthcare professionals wishing to develop knowledge and skills in these specialty areas. The theory and clinical courses prepare these healthcare professionals to provide family-centered perinatal, neonatal or child healthcare in a variety of patient care settings.
Students select and maintain a focus throughout their program of study.
Part-time students will be granted five years from the time of initial registration in the program to complete the requirements for the Certificate. The method of study is distance delivery. Each theory course requires ten to twelve hours per week study time. The second clinical course and the perinatal and child health clinical courses may require the student to study in Calgary. Transfer agreements exist with Alberta universities.
