Shifting perspectives – A qualitative study about midwives’ experiences of postgraduate education in Canada
Midwives' experiences highlighted the value of postgraduate education. Postgraduate education for midwives created new understandings of health systems, professional roles, and interdisciplinarity. Interdisciplinary postgraduate education may offer opportunities to challenge existing siloes in health systems. Postgraduate education programs should be designed with consideration of the competing priorities of clinical midwifery work.
