The program resides within the Department of Family Practice in the Faculty of Medicine. It offers a four-year entry to practice baccalaureate program, an advanced placement program for registered nurses, as well as a bridging program for Internationally Educated Midwives and a nationally known Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program. The Midwifery faculty consists of 17 full-time academic faculty, two dozen adjunct faculty, and approximately 200 clinical faculty members. Midwifery coursework is available through videoconferencing with clinical placements spread across the province. The baccalaureate program, accredited by the Accreditation Council of the Canadian Association for Midwifery Education until February 2027, has cohorts and faculty on the UBC campus in Vancouver, Fraser Health (Surrey), and Vancouver Island (Victoria). The Midwifery faculty are internationally known for their outstanding accomplishments in knowledge generation and translation related to educational technologies, perinatal mental health, home birth, respectful care to vulnerable populations, perinatal weight management, weight stigma and global health. The diverse student population comes mainly from British Columbia, many with previous degrees in a wide range of fields. Graduates are well-respected and currently practice in both rural and urban areas of British Columbia and throughout Canada.

UBC’s Midwifery Office is located on the UBC main campus at Point Grey in Vancouver. Occasional travel to midwifery sites in other parts of the province will be required. This position is centered in Surrey, BC, as part of the Fraser Health Cohort.
