I use another program for distance courses with student midwives. They can even be in international placements and discuss with other students here, in Québec, Canada. At the first meeting, I was stoped by a login problem and I was not able to go further. The second was completely in the middle of the night for me (4 AM). At another time, I would have tried but I am too tired at this moment. I would suggest a more precise goal for those meetings: a theme of research, tools and ressources for researchers, ethic, some problems, etc. I just finish my PhD ( first midwife in Québec) and there is a serious lack of research on midwifery and maternity care. keep the efforts. I am very preoccupied by the situation for pregnant and birthing women on our planet. Midwives need to be together and strong. Research is a good tool to bring light on deeper issues.
