In 1922, the School of Midwifery was first housed in a small building next to a maternity ward near the Daughters of Charity Hospital in Lazarieh.

In 1939, it was relocated to the newly opened French Maternity Hospital on Damascus Road, across from the Faculty of Medicine. When the Maternity Hospital closed in 1979 due to the events in Lebanon, the School had to move to the Central House of the Daughters of Charity in Achrafieh. It later returned to the Medical Sciences Campus in 1991 after its restoration.

Between 1929 and 1967, the midwifery program was spread over two years. Admission requirements gradually increased from a primary school certificate to the Brevet in 1943, then to the first part of the Baccalaureate (Grade 11) in 1960. Starting 1967, applicants were required to hold a nursing diploma. By 1971, applicants needed to have completed the second part of the Baccalaureate (Grade 12). The program lasted 12 months and was extended to 14 months in 1984.

In 2004, a new curriculum based on the European Credit Transfer System was introduced, allowing students with a Lebanese Baccalaureate to apply. This marked the separation of midwifery training from the Bachelor in Nursing Science, extending the program to four years. Additionally, a master’s program and lifelong learning courses were introduced.

In 2014, a training manual based on professional competencies was developed to update the program, teaching methods, and assessment processes.
