Program details

Overview

The Certificate in Midwifery is a post-basic, one-year course of study open only to registered nurses, preparing them for specialised practice as registered midwives. It builds the knowledge, clinical skills and professional attitudes needed to support expectant families through pregnancy, labour and the post-natal period. The programme runs across two semesters plus a summer session and splits into classroom and skills-lab instruction alongside clinical placements in hospitals and health centres island-wide, linking theory to hands-on midwifery practice and developing clinical judgement. On completion, graduates sit the Nursing Council of Jamaica's midwifery licensing exam, the step required to practise as a Registered Midwife in Jamaica.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Open only to registered nurses who have completed an accredited nursing programme and are currently working in a health facility; graduates must sit the Nursing Council of Jamaica Midwifery examination to become licensed.
