Previous knowledge
A strict sequence applies to the OPO clinical education in the 3rd phase of the training due to possible damage to people, material damage or possible damage to the organization. This OPO can only be included if students have obtained a credit for the OPO clinical education non-delivery room and OPO Clinical education delivery room of the 2nd phase of the training.
The OPO clinical education non-delivery room (3VR) can be recorded together and/or separately with the OPO clinical education (3VR) delivery room.
Concurrency:
If a student only takes one of the two OPOs clinical education in a certain academic year, the OPO clinical education 3 VR non - delivery room must be taken first.

Activities
13 ects. Clinical practice (VR-3) Delivery room (B-TM-Z62372)
Content
Internships:
For this course, students complete an internship of 9 to 10 weeks at 34 hours/week.
The student is responsible for ensuring that the total number of internship hours performed on an annual basis is correct.
Me time & We time:
Me-time and We-time guide the student through his study process. To this end, a number of individual guidance moments with the program counselor (ME-time) are provided. Attendance is mandatory.
Group moments with the learning path counselor (WE-time) are scheduled throughout the academic year. The student is expected to be present and actively participate.
Your hours of WE-time are only valid if you can prove your presence. You can find this document on Canvas. Don't forget the date, the number of hours attended and the signature of your counselor! Present this document at the start of the supervision so that your counselor can sign for your presence. You are responsible for this document yourself. If the student returns from internship only for supervision, the student will be given 1.5 hours for this.
In-depth physiology assignment:
The physiology assignment is part of the OPO Clinical education. With this assignment, the student attempts to provide additional insight into all physiological actions and observations that may or may not be performed in the context of childbirth.
The formal requirements for this assignment can be found on Canvas.
The assignment must be uploaded digitally on Canvas
Assessment center:
The assessment center confronts the students (as a group), in a simulation environment, with a (complicated) (acute) obstetric situation. They prove that they can respond adequately as a team and provide comprehensive care. The total care required will consist of various technical skills. There are 2 exam opportunities provided in the first examination period.

Evaluation
(B-TM-Z95267)
Explanation
| Assessment | Grading scale |
|---|---|
| TOTAL | 1-20/20 scale |
If one of the components below is part of the OPO KO VK 3, the student will receive NA (= not present). The opo manager can decide differently about this.
- all internship hours were performed
- All achievements as determined at European level and recorded in the logbook have been achieved
- All internship documents were submitted on time in accordance with the agreements
- The student was present at all mandatory guidance moments/integration moments from clinical education (unless legitimately absent, and/or in order with a replacement assignment if applicable)
See the key available on the digital learning platform.
All activities scheduled under the OPO KO are mandatory activities.
Internships:
When awarding a point for the internships, the final evaluation(s) that the student achieved during the internships within this OPO are taken into account. Please note: the grade is not a summative calculation of the various parts of the evaluation.
The point for internships counts for 70% of the result for clinical education. Given the unique learning objectives and work on the work floor cannot be tested elsewhere, a student who does not pass the internships can achieve a maximum of 9/20 for the OPO.
In-depth physiology assignment:
The result of the physiology assignment counts for 10% of the OPO. The student must achieve several learning objectives for this assignment. This assignment is developed in a sufficiently critical manner by using the documents mentioned and by substantiating everything with scientific literature.
The assignment must be uploaded digitally on Canvas
Assessment center:
During the assessment center in phase 3, the students as a group are confronted with a (complicated) (acute) obstetric situation (simulation environment). They prove that they can respond adequately as a team and provide comprehensive care. The total care required will consist of various technical skills. The aim is for an equivalent assessment for all participants.
There are 2 exam opportunities provided in the first examination period. The result of the assessment center counts for 20% of the result of the OPO Clinical education. Given the specific learning objectives that are tested, a student who does not pass the assessment center at the OPO can still achieve a maximum of 9/20
