Abstract: Objective To understand the evaluation from midwifery experts and midwifery graduates on Midwifery as a core professional curriculum, and provide reference for training programs for midwifery undergraduates. Methods With Deiphi method, a questionnaire was designed and 60 midwifery experts and 282 midwifery graduates were surveyed in terms of the proportion of teaching content, teaching methods, and assessment methods of the theoretical and experimental part of the course of Midwifery. Results In teaching content of the course, both graduates and midwifery experts believed that the top 3 most important sections were neonatal care and resuscitation, prenatal examination and maternal and infant monitoring, and intrapartum care. Graduates believed that the top 3 most important theoretical teaching methods were classroom learning, online teaching and group discussion, while for midwifery experts, the top three were teach online teaching, group discussions and classroom learning. As to experimental teaching content, graduates considered the top 5 most important experimental parts were perineal incision and suture technique, four-step palpation and fetal heart monitoring, soft birth canal examination, neonatal resuscitation technique and delivery technique. Graduates believed that hospital internship was the most important experimental teaching method, while experts regarded it was model presentation. Graduates and midwifery experts all believed that the top three assessment methods were practical exercise, examination paper assessment and case nursing. In terms of the evaluation of the core competence of midwifery, graduates and midwifery experts agreed that health care ability during childbirth was the most important. Conclusion From the perspective of core literacy, core technical knowledge of Midwifery should be emphasized and various teaching methods, such as simulation demonstrations are necessary for clinical and teaching needs. The assessment of comprehensive abilities, especially the cultivation of health care ability during childbirth is significant for midwifery undergraduates.
