A Pilot Project of Collaborative Maternity Education: Understanding Perspectives from Family Medicine and Midwifery
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: In Canada, the decreasing numbers of family physicians and the small number of midwives providing obstetric care have been associated with a decline in access to maternity services. Several studies and policy documents support the development of models to enhance collaboration between midwives and physicians and to expose trainees to these models. A pilot project was undertaken to implement and evaluate an interprofessional learning opportunity involving midwifery students (MWSs) and family medicine residents (FMRs). Methods: The aim was to describe how FMRs and MWSs develop skills to collaborate, and to identify the feasibility of this type of education. A convenience sample of 12 FMRs and 6 MWSs in a southern Ontario suburban community and their preceptors participated in a series of educational seminars and a clinical placement within the midwifery practice. Qualitative focus groups and interviews were conducted, and data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Qualitative analysis highlighted themes relating to the engaging of learners, logistical challenges, and the perceived value of interprofessional education (IPE).Conclusions: This pilot project highlights barriers to and enablers of IPE. The findings will inform the modification of the project for future use and suggest that this project could be a useful model of IPE for primary maternity care.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
