Call for Registered Midwives Members and Public Members for the Nunavut Midwifery Registration Committee

The Department of Health is seeking Registered Midwives and members of the public to serve on the Nunavut Midwifery Registration Committee.

The Nunavut Midwifery Registration Committee is mandated by the Midwifery Profession Act to review and make decisions on applications for licensing and renewal of midwifery practitioners. This committee also advises the Minister of Health on matters of policy, standards and legislation respecting Registered Midwives in Nunavut.

Registered Midwife applicants must be in good standing with the Government of Nunavut or registered and in good standing in another province or territory in Canada.

The Department of Health is also seeking members of the public to serve on the Nunavut Midwifery Registration Committee. Public members are not registered midwives and are not employees of the Government of Nunavut.

All applicants should have a strong interest in the regulatory process and be prepared to devote two to four hours each month for a teleconference meeting. A knowledge of traditional Inuit midwifery practice is an asset. Incumbents will assist in advancing midwifery professional development including incorporating traditional midwifery knowledge into practice

Those interested in either of these opportunities should submit their resume and a letter of interest by March 28, 2022 to: Barbara Harvey, Registrar, Department of Health, at @email, or by fax at 867-982-7655.

Copies of the Act may be provided on request or are also available on the internet, at: https://www.nunavutlegislation.ca/en/consolidated-law/midwifery-professi...
