There are lots of models, but one of best simulations we do, is asking local healthy pregnant women to come in and have care within our University based 'clinical area' , eg a history taking appointment, Antenatal care appointment. And we record/video this - then play it back to the students and all learn from it, as they see themselves. There is clearly careful consent processes for all involved, and all recording are destroyed that day but it really works well.
Best wishes

Greetings all,
I would like to draw on the collective wisdom on this list please.
I'm seeking information and recommendations from those of you who teach midwifery. We have just been given approval for our brand new Bachelor of Midwifery curriculum from our state board. I'm compiling a list of necessary, useful and desirable teaching models for our student midwives to use in our clinical lab.
Simulation is certainly the 'buzz' word in educational circles. I would love to know what those of you experienced in the educational/research field would recommend, what you are using and what you would like to have in an ideal educational world.
I am very grateful for any recommendations and comments you can give me. Thank you in anticipation.
Carolyn
