The Education Standing Committee works with other ICM Standing Committees (Research Standing Committee and Regulation Standing Committee) to support the goals of the Confederation by effecting transformation in the field of midwives’ education,  strengthening midwifery education worldwide and supporting the role of the midwife as an educator. 

Education Standing Committee

The ICM Board established the Regulation Standing Committee in 2008 as a mechanism through which to strengthen midwifery regulation at national, regional and global levels. Regulation is one of the three pillars (Education, Regulation, Midwifery Associations) through which the ICM works to strengthen midwifery world-wide.

Regulation Standing Committee

The purpose of the Research Standing Committee is to strengthen the development of midwifery research within the International Confederation of Midwives by the provision of a venue within the structure of the organisation that supports the overall mission and aims of the Confederation. The International Confederation of Midwives believes that acceptable standards of midwifery practice, education and management are based on reliable and valid research and accurate evaluation of midwifery practices.
