Introduction: Reflection as a learning activity facilitates professional learning, but has not been implemented in the midwifery curricula in a structured way. Background: The Swedish midwife work within three essential areas: Sexual and reproductive health, research, development and training as well as management and organization. One partial competence area is Personal and Professional Development (PPD), as the midwife should have the ability to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of their professional skills and to continuously develop skills in sexual and reproductive health. National educational goals for midwifery students in Sweden are to; demonstrate self-awareness and empathy, demonstrate the ability of the whole person and make assessments based on relevant scientific, social and ethical aspects, take particular account to human rights, demonstrate the ability to adopt a professional approach to women and their families and to identify one’s own need of further knowledge and continuously develop professional skills. Aim: To implement reflective tasks in the midwifery program to improve the students Personal and Professional Development (PPD) in becoming a professional midwife adopting the national educational goals for midwives in Sweden. Method: To improve the midwifery student’s professionalism, we have introduced reflection tasks in the curricula in order to develop the student's Personal and Professional Development (PPD). Result: The reflection tasks were divided in three areas to facilitate a clear professional progression during the midwifery program: 1) students own personal and professional development 2) students relating to and interacting with patients and 3) students collaboration with other health professionals. In interaction between student, lecturer and clinical supervisor the student expressed orally and in written text their PPD. Conclusion: The lecturer’s and supervisor’s pedagogical task may be to initiate and carry out skills from training to reflection, to train students to verbalize their own experience, to express values, help to reflect on student’s own thoughts and feelings in specific situations which may extend action preparedness. To discuss difficult situations and to reflect on different scenarios and how they can be managed is one way of training PPD. Significance of the project and Making a difference through professionalismBy introducing the PPU can midwifery students be better prepared for their future profession, have a greater awareness of themselves, of the patients / clients that they are expected to interact with and about other health professions that they will work with. By example, reflection and analysis, and appropriate tools for this, students can gain a greater self-knowledge, which in turn may also contribute to an increased understanding of the various processes such as communication, teamwork and leadership. One way to spot professional development is to reflect on their own way to act in different learning situations during training. The purpose of the PPU is: to improve and deepen students' knowledge of themselves and their future profession, to train and develop a professional attitude, to contribute to a professional interaction with patients / clients, developing their ability to work with other health professionals and collaborate in teamwork and be able to take the leadership and decision making , especially in emergency situations.
