Step into Midwifery

Is this your MAP?

Every day, we choose the path we walk on. Does your path lead towards midwifery?

Why healthcare?

Healthcare is a field built on curiosity about how the body works and commitment to helping it work better. Choosing healthcare means stepping into a community of people who are always learning, always adapting, and always striving to leave things better than they found them. For those drawn to challenges that matter and work that evolves with the world, healthcare offers a lifelong journey of purpose and possibility.

Why midwifery?

Midwifery is more than a career — it’s a commitment to support new life in its very first moments. It provides the chance to blend science with compassion, skill with intuition, and tradition with innovation. It's ideally suited to those who find meaning in both the quiet, personal moments and in the celebrated milestones. In steady hands and steady hearts, midwifery offers a life of purpose, connection, and profound impact - one birth, one family, one story at a time.

Why a didactic course?

Your apprenticeship will teach you a huge amount, but you can't possibly see every situation play out in a clinical setting, and most preceptors don't have the time (or the will) to fill in all the missing pieces for you. For some motivated, organized, book-loving midwifery students, self-guided learning is the right choice, but others bloom with more guidance, motivational learning, and a greater variety of learning activities.

Why MAP?

MAP is designed to be flexible, so you can choose your own pathway and timeline. It's designed to be rigorous, so you're ready for whatever lies ahead. It's designed to not waste your precious time, so you can do more of what you love. And it's designed to be fun, hands-on, varied, and individualized, so you enjoy your journey homeward to midwifery.
MAP also prepares you for passing NARM, should you choose this route.
