Instructor bios are listed on each coursepage.
Our Values
HiveCE was built using the model of doughnut economics:
HiveCE recognizes that diversity, equity, and equality benefit all of us, and that both medical practice and midwifery have historically been a place of deep inequality and exclusion. Although much progress has been made, these goals remain in need of our attention.
Doughnut economics is all about balance. We seek to balance fair compensation for instructors with affordable quality CE content for participants. We incorporate evidence-based recommendations as well as lived experience. Above all, HiveCE places Informed Choice (similar to Informed Consent) as the cornerstone of midwifery care, and a best practice for all patient care.
We value science, and remember that science is a process of continual learning and discovery. In this, we must remain humble, as we know there is much yet to be revealed.
Our Community Partners
Our community partners have co-created courses with proceeds to benefit their non-profit organizations.

Our Instructional Format
("Are these just webinars?")
Our courses are carefully designed to maximize online learning by using educational techniques that engage a variety of learning styles, and allow learners to revisit information later for reference purposes.
HiveCE courses are not* webinars!
Our on-demand course videos include:
- recordings from live conferences
- studio recorded speakers
- distance recorded speakers
- animated presentations
In addition to videos, other learning methods include written content, interactive learning exercises, and a discussion area with instructors and other students. You may find the detailed list of what each course entails under "Course Curriculum" on the coursepages.
Courses are formatted with short, topic-specific sections that are easily used later for reference purposes. No wading through 2 hours of content just to find the answer to that one thing you can't remember!
Unlike many online course platforms, which only provide access for a few weeks, you'll have the opportunity to keep access for at least as long as the course is approved for CE.
*The content we host for Equity In Midwifery Education are webinars. Equity in Midwifery Education webinars are not created by HiveCE. We simply host the content, and provide a mechanism for CE Credit.
