Hello Lisa
You are lucky! We (Faculty of Health at Thames Valley University) have a
PBL/EBL midwifery programme that implements it across the whole
programme and have extensive evaluation and years of implementation. I
am passing this onto Cathy Rowan in the midwifery team, as I am sure she
can exchange ideas as one of the leads in this area. Have you thought
about a trip over?
Regards
Karen

Subject: PBL-curriculum for midwives: How to design a curriculum?
I'm a lecturer for midwifery education at Berne in Switzerland.
We are engaged in developing an new PBL-curriculum. The intention is to
adopt a PBL approach to the whole curriculum. Future students must
succeed
at an undergraduate level (bachelor) with 180 ECTS. The progamme is
conceptualized as a direct entery midwivery training (lasts tree years
at a
fulltime level).
Who is experienced in designing a problem-based curriculum for midwives?
My questions are the following:
How to apply the educational principles of PBL to the curriculum?
How to structure the curriculum: What structure ist the best for a PBL-
curriculum? What is the ideal length of a unit/cycle? How to
arrange "theoritical" units in relation to practical units (clinical
placement?
What are the difficulties in designing a PBL-curriculum?
Tips and tricks for the design of a PBL-curriculum?
I'm interessed in an exchance.
Greatings
