Education Program Review


​​Get involved! Consider joining a BCCNM committee

We're always accepting applications. To complement our existing members, more nurses, midwives and members of the public are needed.​​




The Education Program Review (EPR) Committee assesses BC nursing and midwifery education programs and courses against the BCCNM Education Standards and Indicators and makes recommendations to BCCNM’s board for consideration in recognizing a nursing or midwifery education program.

Overv​​iew

EPR Committee members are a combination of midwife registrants, nurse registrants, and members of the public as required by BCCNM bylaws. Appointment terms are one, two, or three years. Most of the committee’s work takes place in panels of three to six committee members. A person can serve on the EPR Committee for up to six consecutive years.

Comm​​itment

The number of meetings a committee member attends in a year varies; however, members should be prepared to commit to a minimum of four to six regularly scheduled meetings per year. Committee members are polled for their availability. Meetings are currently four hours in length and are conducted virtually. Preparation time for each meeting is usually the same as the scheduled time for a meeting.

We give specific thanks to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking Peoples the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), on whose unceded territories BCCNM’s office is located. We also give thanks for the medicines of these territories and recognize that laws, governance, and health systems tied to these lands and waters have existed here for over 9000 years.

We also acknowledge the unique and distinct rights, including rights to health and wellness, of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples from elsewhere in Canada who now live in British Columbia. As leaders in the settler health system, we acknowledge our responsibilities to these rights under international, national, and provincial law.​
