Our practice is dedicated to training new midwives, so that more women in Ontario can have access to midwifery care.
There are almost always students being mentored in our practice. Your midwifery team may involve a student, with your consent. There are many advantages to having a student midwife as part of your team. Our students are enthusiastic and eager to learn. They are dedicated to learning the midwifery profession and enhancing their clients' birthing experiences. They also provide an extra set of hands in labour to give labour support!
Students always work closely with midwives, and have a vast range of clinical skills, depending on their stage in training. Our practice supervises students at all stages of the midwifery education program, from introductory level (first clinical placement) to clerkship (end of training, similar to residency).

Jasmine Allan (working alongside Kelly and Stephanie) Hello, my name is Jasmine Allan and I am a midwifery student currently in my 4th year at Ryerson University. I am excited to be completing my senior year here at East Mississauga Midwives. I am a proud multi-racial woman of Indigenous (Anishnaabeg), Syrian, Finnish and British ancestry. I started my post-secondary academic journey at the University of Waterloo in the Social Development Studies program with a minor in Family, Sexuality and Marriage Studies and a specialization in Social Work. The degree was cut short when I was accepted into the Midwifery Education Program in 2016. I was thrilled to join the midwifery world and have never looked back. I have completed previous placements at Midwives of Mississauga, Brampton Civic Hospital (Obstetrics, NICU, Labour and Delivery), the International Breastfeeding Centre, the Toronto Birth Centre, prenatal genetics, Bay Centre for Birth Control, and with a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor. It is an honour to be a part of your journey and I appreciate the opportunity to learn.

Faiza Abdullah (working alongside Stephanie and Kelly)
Hi, my name is Faiza Abdullah and I am currently in the international midwifery preregistration program (IMPP) at Ryerson University. I am really grateful for this opportunity to be a midwifery clerk here at East Mississauga Midwives from Nov. 19, 2018, to Mar. 6, 2019. I look forward to getting to know all of you, midwives and clients as we work together over the next four months. I was born and raised in Syria, graduated from Damascus University in 2006 with a Medical Degree and completed a five years residency to become an OB/GYN. I worked as an OB/GYN until I left my country as a refugee to Jordan in 2013. In Jordan, I worked at a medical center to provide care to pregnant women and I volunteered in Jordan Relief Organization to support refugee women until my family and I moved to Canada in 2016. In Canada, I began studying to improve my knowledge of the English language and I was accepted in 2018 to the IMPP. I love midwifery and I want to thank you very much for allowing me to be a part of your care. |
