AIME Webinar Series: Developing Midwife Faculty – Session 1

High-quality midwifery education depends on educators who are confident, current, and professionally competent. Around the world, there is growing recognition of the urgent need to invest in midwifery education — including developing and supporting midwife faculty to design, deliver, and evaluate effective programmes of study. To address this critical need, the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) has developed the ICM Global Standards for Midwife Faculty Development and the accompanying Companion Guide — the first global standards created specifically for midwife faculty. These standards represent a significant step toward ensuring midwifery educators and education systems are grounded in quality, innovation, opportunity, and evidence-based practice.

Session 1 (03/12): Introducing the new Global Standards for Midwife Faculty Development

This session will showcase the new ICM Global Standards for Midwife Faculty Development, explain the need and background behind their creation, and share country examples of how they can be implemented, evaluated and used to develop effective midwife faculty development programmes.

Join us to discuss how global standards and national strategies can work together to strengthen midwifery education and improve outcomes for women and newborns worldwide.
