I did the 3 year BMid in SA, & if Id *had* to do the extra year to add nursing I prolly would have looked elsewhere (or written even more letters to have it changed). The problem with a 'double degree' is that it serves to maintain the fallacy that midwifery is not a distinct profession, that nursing has to be in there somewhere. If we are going to have double degrees with midwifery involved then I would prefer the 'other' degree was political science, or business studies, or something that teaches one how to set up sustainable community structures. Something that moves midwifery out of the mindset of a sub-species of nursing, anyway.
