The value of clinical experience to a non-clinician: combining midwifery practice with teaching.
This paper explores the value of clinical experience to midwives and other health care providers who work in other than clinical situations. The value of this experience may relate to personal or educational goals. Due to the lack of attention to this topic in the midwifery literature, the author recounts her own experience and compares it with the nursing and health visiting literature. Differing expectations feature as an issue. The value of this arrangement, for teaching, research and personal development more than compensate for the difficulties identified.
