How useful is bioscience knowledge in midwifery and is it necessary for safe practice?

Abstract:

This article is an abridged account of third-year midwifery students' experiences and opinions about the usefulness of bioscience knowledge and its relationship to safety in their practice. The information was gathered in 1994 and 1995, as an informal evaluation exercise, to determine the educational needs of third-year midwifery students. The study of bioscience is an essential component of the curriculum in the three-year direct-entry Bachelor of Midwifery Degree programme offered at Otago Polytechnic, New Zealand.
