Membership Eligibility

There are five classes of membership in CAM:

1. Full membership consists of individual midwives in good standing of their provincial/territorial midwifery association that is a member of CAM. Provincial/territorial memberships are issued to midwifery associations that represent the midwives in that province or territory.

2. Associate membership is issued to individual midwives who reside in a province or territory where no provincial or territorial midwifery association is in existence. Non-practising midwives may also be issued associate memberships in CAM.

3. Student membership may be issued to individual student members of provincial/territorial associations.

4. Allied membership is for individuals who are not midwives who wish to support the vision of CAM. Allied memberships are non-voting memberships.

How to Become a Member

Members of provincial/territorial midwifery associations are automatically entitled and issued membership to CAM. If you are a practising midwife, please contact your provincial/territorial midwifery association for information on your membership in CAM.
If you are a student registered in one of the six recognised midwifery education programs in Canada, please contact your provincial/territorial association for information on your membership in CAM.

If you are a midwife in an area without a professional association, if you are a student midwife in a midwifery education program not listed here, or if you are a midwife in the process of applying for registration in Canada, you can apply for membership in CAM.

If you are not a midwife but wish to become a member of CAM, download the Allied membership application form. (PDF 155kb)
