Indigenous Birth Support Worker Certificate (IBWC)

The Indigenous Birth Support Worker Certificate program includes 18 credits delivered online, face-to-face, or through remote synchronized methods on all three campuses. The IBWC certificate offers information on Indigenous-based birthing practices and nationally certified doula training to support and advocate for birthers and families before, during, and after birthing.
All courses are developed collaboratively with Indigenous 办锚丑迟锚-补测补办 and Knowledge Keepers from various First Nations communities.
This program also supports other degree programs such as nursing, community health representative programs, and midwifery.
