Continuing Education in Midwifery

Please note that due to the evolving situation with COVID-19 all of our continuing education courses have been postponed until further notice.

We anticipate that many people will need training and recertification in various courses whenever it becomes safe to bring people together for in-person classes. We will be adding additional dates to accommodate that demand. If you are interested in being added to a waitlist for these offerings please email cmereg@mcmaster.ca
