“…An American medical school survey completed in 1995 identified that half of the 129 schools who responded used midwives as educators. In this study 176 of the nurse-midwives’ reported they were normally involved in medical student education 5 . A more recent American study building on the earlier study, with responses from 74 midwifery practices, found the majority taught residents and medical students as well as midwifery students 6 .…”

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to examine the contribution of nurses and midwives to the education of medical colleagues in the clinical context.MethodsThe research design was a cross-sectional survey using an online questionnaire. A subsample of 2906 respondents, from a total of 4763 nurses and midwives participating in a web-based study, had taught doctors in the 12 months prior to the survey. The questionnaire generated mainly categorical data analysed with descriptive statistics.ResultsIn the group of respondents who taught doctors (n =2906), most provided informal teaching (92.9%, n=2677). Nearly a quarter (23.9%, n=695) self-rated the amount of time spent teaching as at least moderate in duration. The most common named teaching topics were documentation (74.8%, n=2005) and implementing unit procedures (74.3, n=1987), followed by medication charting (61.9%, n=1657) and choosing correct medications (55.8%, n=1493). Respondents felt their contributions were unrecognised by the doctors and students they taught (43.9%, n=1256).ConclusionsEducational contributions while unrecognised could be considered positively by the respondents. However, discussion of teaching responsibilities is necessary to support the development of teaching protocols and supervision responsibilities as respondents reported teaching clinical medical tasks related to medications, consent and other skills within the medical domain. Study limitations include the nature of self-reported responses which cannot be validated and data drawn from a survey concluded in 2009.

“…On the basis of this study and other sources, physicians who work with midwives during medical school and residency are more likely to seek professional collaborative practice teams that include mid-wives following graduation. 18,22 The involvement of mid-wives in the education of future physicians may assist in the growth of midwifery practices and opportunities.…”

“…23 Furthermore, interdisciplinary education promotes learning about the unique contributions of team members from each discipline to the comprehensive mission of the health care system. 6 Although descriptions of midwives' contributions to graduate medical education have been published, 22,24 studies that document student outcomes of midwives' participation are needed. The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge of third-year medical students about CNMs as a result of exposure to clinical and didactic collaborative education conducted by CNMs.…”

Information concerning the student outcomes of interdisciplinary education is limited. The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge of third-year medical students regarding the practice of certified nurse-midwives (CNMs). A 1-page survey instrument was developed and pretested. The instrument was administered as a pre-and posttest at the beginning and end of 7 Obstetrics and Gynecology rotations at 2 medical school clinical campuses of a large Midwestern medical school. Direct interaction with CNMs improved knowledge of collaborative practice arrangements and roles. This was particularly evident in knowledge areas related to CNM prescriptive authority. The medical students who had direct experience with CNMs expressed more interest in working with them in the future than those who lacked the exposure. Collaborative, interdisciplinary education of medical students appeared to promote improved understanding of roles and capabilities.

“…A 1998 survey of midwifery involvement in medical education 8 and two recent surveys 9,10 confirm the extensive involvement of midwives in medical education. Although many institutions provide triage services and teach residents, the purpose of this article is twofold: 1) to present four models of resident education in obstetric triage with midwives as faculty consultants, and 2) to explore common trends in the expanded midwifery teaching role as it relates to resident education in the triage setting.…”

Four models of resident education in obstetric triage with midwifery faculty consultants are presented. Common trends in the structure and function of these models are reviewed. The four models represent diverse settings where midwives serve as clinical teachers primarily for first-year obstetric residents and residents from other subspecialties. Each model supports a growing number of midwives working in the triage setting, functioning as both teacher and consultant for new residents. This expanded midwifery teaching role extends beyond labor assessment to include a wide range of common obstetric and gynecologic conditions in the triage setting. Additional advantages include the ability of the midwife to bill for triage services and to provide a safety net to decrease medical errors which, in a busy triage unit, occur most often during patient transfers.
