Bridging Education Programs for Internationally Educated Midwives
The Multi-jurisdictional Midwifery Bridging Project (MMBP) is a bridging program for qualified midwives educated outside of Canada. It is designed to help midwives learn how to use their skills in a Canadian context. The MMBP will assist midwives to prepare to meet the requirements for registering and practicing as a midwife in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia or the Northwest Territories.
