The essential competences for the practice of midwifery describe the minimum set of knowledge, skills and professional behaviours required by an individual to use the title of midwife as defined by the ICM.

The MPath resources provide midwife educators with practical tools and suggested strategies to strengthen pre-service midwifery education programs.

The ICM Standards for Midwifery Education are an essential pillar of ICM’s efforts to strengthen midwifery worldwide by promoting high quality education programmes that prepare midwives who meet the ICM definition of a midwife.
