Reimagining relationality as the focus of midwifery education: A qualitative study.

Aim: To explore what midwifery academics and midwifery clinicians understand as the learning goals of the Continuity of care experiences (CoCE) in the Bachelor of Midwifery program.

Background: Continuity of care experiences are a component of all midwifery programs in Australia with the aim to facilitate an understanding of how relationship-based care is foundational to learning the art and science of midwifery. However, challenges persist in embedding meaningful CoCE, in part because learning goals have not been consistent.
