It has been transferred from a traditional hospital based program developed to suit the service needs of an organisation, to a tertiary course of studies. This move has not been completed in all States/Territories and some still have hospital based courses. A diverse range of University awards for midwifery education have been developed. The curriculum, in the majority of these courses, has been developed by the academic staff based on their expertise and experience in the field of midwifery. This paper will give a brief overview of midwifery education in Australia and report the findings of a small study to define beginning and advanced midwifery practice as a curriculum development exercise and identify that beginning and advanced midwifery practice are different. It will also demonstrate the need for Universities to provide midwifery programs that are flexible, creative and appropriate for the learner.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77020,"journal":{"name":"Australian College of Midwives Incorporated journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"Pages 19-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1031-170X(99)80036-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21094215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly it argues that the use of story, in its entirety, is a valid, relevant and useful tool for informing personal and professional knowing.

The author hopes that the telling of the story provides a window through which others can share her experience. It is argued that ‘identification’ with the challenges involved in implementing innovative models of care is an important and vital step in the process, if these models are to begin, survive and achieve their aim of providing women-centred health care.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77020,"journal":{"name":"Australian College of Midwives Incorporated journal","volume":"11 4","pages":"Pages 13-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1031-170X(98)80019-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20968150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The survey showed that there was an emphasis on assessment and education. Barriers that hindered staff action included the lack of resources, particularly for people of non-English speaking background (NESB), and training.
