Start a career in health care that has the potential to transform the lives of growing families and build a healthier, equitable world. Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU's) Midwifery degree program prepares graduates to become collaborative primary health care providers for pregnant people and their newborns with a commitment to reproductive choice, health justice and respectful care. Our innovative curriculum provides a foundation in the sciences, social sciences and simulated practical clinical skills. You'll complement this with over 2 years in midwifery and interprofessional placements where you'll develop the knowledge and skills to become a lead health provider for the childbearing year. This program is not available to international students. Space is limited. Previous post-secondary education is encouraged.

Note: The Midwifery Education Program (MEP) is a competitive, limited enrolment program. Over the years, 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.

Applicants not educated in Ontario must submit evidence of education equivalent to the OSSD with six Grade 12 U or M courses. Minimum Canadian provincial requirements for admission are available for reference on the Canadian Secondary School Students webpage.

Subject to competition, select candidates will be invited to participate in a personal interview. Further information about the interview process can be found on the Midwifery website.
