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).

Bianca Lambert
Hi! My name is Bianca Lambert (she/her) and I am honoured to be joining East Mississauga Midwives for my senior year. Before joining the Midwifery Education Program at Toronto Metropolitan University, I graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Psychology. Through my studies at Wilfrid Laurier University, I was able to grow my lifelong passion for healthcare and work within their diversity and equity office. This experience solidified my desire to pursue midwifery as I believe this profession incorporates not only my love of healthcare, but my passion for promoting equity and inclusivity.
When I am not studying or in placement I enjoy volunteering within my local church, reading, trying out new restaurants with my friends and family and sketching fashion designs.
Thank you for allowing me to learn from you all and I’m excited for the opportunity to serve the community I’ve been living in for the last 20 years.
