Yukon Registration Pathway: Long Roadmap for IEMs

To work as a midwife in the Yukon, midwives must register through the Yukon government’s department of Professional Licencing and Regulatory Affairs, hold a Yukon licence and renew their licence every year. Midwives must apply for a “full certificate” or full licence to use the title of midwife and work to the full extent of Yukon regulations.
