Overview

In response to a global call for midwives to play an increased role in the leadership within health systems, the program’s core courses are founded on the major attributes of advanced midwife practitioners, including autonomy in practice, leadership, expertise, and research skills. Elective courses allow students to develop discrete advanced clinical skills or expertise in a focused area of interest, and optional clinical and leadership placements provide real-world experience to support students’ growth and development. Graduates will be prepared for roles such as clinical and professional leaders, educators, researchers, and clinicians with specialized advanced clinical skills.

Key Features

The Midwifery program McMaster University offers the option of either a course-based or a thesis-based stream. While the thesis-based stream must be completed full-time, the course-based program may be completed either full-time or part-time. The program uses a hybrid format, with a combination of asynchronous online, synchronous online, and in-person learning, which provides students with flexibility and allows the degree to be primarily completed from a distance.
