On April 9, 2021, the Canadian Midwifery Regulators Council announced that the May 6, 2021 sitting of the Canadian Midwifery Registration Exam (CMRE) was being postponed due to the status of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The exam may be rescheduled prior to the fall sitting which is due to take place on October 28, 2021.
On April 1, 2021, a new class change policy came into effect. The Requalification Program Approval and Registrar Authorization Policy establishes a streamlined process for inactive certificate holders applying for re-issuance of a General certificate of registration, in accordance with section 15(4)(b) of the Registration Regulation, where a requalification program is required.
The College has spent the last year reflecting on the changes we have made as an organization, and the changes we need to make to fulfil our potential as a regulator. These discussions culminated at our March 24, 2021 meeting, where Council approved the College’s new strategic direction for 2021-2026, a plan we’ve called Working with Midwives, Working for the Public.
Our Council meetings are open to members and the public. If any of these highlights from the December and March meetings interest you, you can click to read more in the meeting materials.
