Only 25 to 30 students are accepted per program, which sees up to 300 applicants annually. RBC’s line of credit is an important factor for most, if not all, midwifery students, including Mizumoto. “There are still lingering myths and misconceptions about midwifery,” said Elizabeth Brandeis, President of the Association Of Ontario Midwives. There are a lot of mature students in the program, said the 33-year-old, who moved to Toronto from Whitehorse to join Ryerson’s midwifery program. Nicole Bennett, director of Ryerson’s midwifery program, says students who were counting on RBC’s line of credit were caught off-guard.
