Developing Midwife Faculty: Introducing the new Global Standards for Midwife Faculty Development
Available Languages: French, Spanish, Arabic
Global policy and research have long called for urgent and significant investment in education, including developing or building the capacity of midwife faculty to design, deliver and evaluate programmes of study. To support this critical need, the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) has published ICM Global Standards for Midwife Faculty Development and ICM Global Standards for Midwife Faculty Development Companion Guide . These standards are the first global standards developed specifically for midwife faculty and mark a significant step to ensure midwifery educators and midwifery education are grounded in quality, innovation, opportunity and evidence-based practice.
This webinar 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.
