Frequently Asked Questions

The Midwifery Education Program (MEP) is a competitive limited enrolment program. Over the years, a very few candidates have been successful in gaining admittance directly from high school. High school graduates are encouraged to gain further college or university experience before applying.

TMU is part of a consortium with McMaster University for the Midwifery Education Program in the province of Ontario. Applicants can apply to both programs.

Midwifery is an autonomous profession separate and distinct from nursing and medicine. While some students entering the program have these types of backgrounds and certification, they are not a requirement to apply to the program, and they are not guaranteed to improve your chances of being accepted into the program. A wide range of life and work experiences, not limited to health care, can be an asset in applying to the program.

Applicants interested in the Post-Baccalaureate Program for Health Professionals should apply using the same process as applicants for the 4 year full time stream. You will be able to declare you interest in the Post-Baccalaureate Program for Health Professionals when you fill out the Midwifery Form. Applicants interested in the Post-Baccalaureate Program for Health Professionals program will be asked to submit additional information.
