Abstract: Objective: To analyze the expectations and current situation of cultivating core competencies for undergraduate students majoring in midwifery from the perspective of clinics, so as to propose suggestions for training. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 midwives and the data was analyzed by using the inductive thematic analysis method in descriptive research. Results: A total of 13 interviews were conducted, with a recording time of approximately 263 minutes and transcribed text of approximately 63 334 words. A total of 3 themes were extracted in the study, including core competencies that should be possessed, current status of core competency levels, and suggestions for improving the core competency. Conclusion: Undergraduate students majoring in midwifery had good theoretical knowledge and scientific research quality, but their clinical operation ability and emergency response ability were poor. Moreover, some undergraduate students have problems such as lack of self-confidence, low levels of professional identity, poor communication skills, weak active learning abilities, and insufficient adaptability. It is necessary to further improve the undergraduate training system for midwifery majors, increase professional identity, improve adaptability, and cultivate comprehensive midwifery talents guided by core competencies in the subsequent undergraduate education of midwifery.
