>>Abby, BMid stands for Bachelor of
Midwifery.
It's a 3 year undergraduate course to train midwives who are not nurses
(as opposed to the Graduate Diploma of Midwifery, for nurses).
The BMid is common in Europe & NZ & was launched in
Australia in 2002.
So far it's only been offered in Vic & SA, but I thought UTS in
Sydney was to be offering it in 2004.
Cheers, Jen

Thanks for the info Jen.
Do you know what the prerequisites are for getting into the course?
I also wondered if anyone thought it was worth studying
overseas because of the different thoughts on birth and midwifery. I have
heard that other countries have better, more woman centred, ideas and
teachings for midwifery?
Thanks
Love Abby
