Education Program Review
Education is the foundation of safe and ethical midwifery and nursing practice. BCCNM reviews and recognizes midwifery and nursing education programs in B.C. to ensure they meet the education standards and indicators approved by the board. Graduates from a BCCNM recognized program meet the education requirements for registration with BCCNM.
BCCNM is committed to eradicating Indigenous-specific racism within our health system and providing culturally safe care for Indigenous Peoples. As part of this commitment, the education program review process for all entry level nursing and midwifery education programs requires evidence of how the curriculum incorporates the Indigenous Cultural Safety, Cultural Humility, and Anti-racism practice standard and how the program is actively addressing these principles.
