Previous knowledge
The OPO clinical education in the 2nd phase of the program is subject to strict sequentiality due to possible harm to people, material damage or possible damage to the organization. This OPO can be taken only if students obtained credit for the OPO clinical education of the 1st phase of the program.
The OPO clinical education (2-VR) can be taken together and/or separately with the OPO clinical education (2-VR) delivery room.
Simultaneity
If a student takes only one of the two OPO 's clinical education in a given academic year then the OPO clinical education 2 VR without delivery room must be taken first. Thus, there is strict concurrency with the OPO clinical education delivery room phase 2 (Z26225)
If a student takes the OPO clinical education non-obstetric room then there is also strict concurrency with subsequent OPOs:
- Z 12120: obstetric care in the second line: prenatal (part 1)
- Z 12121: obstetric care in the second line: intrapartum and postpartum (part 1)
- Z12122: low risk neonatology
- Z12124: gynecology
Order of Enrolment
Mixed prerequisite:
You may only take this course if you comply with the prerequisites. Prerequisites can be strict or flexible, or can imply simultaneity. A degree level can be also be a prerequisite.
Explanation:
STRICT: You may only take this course if you have passed or applied tolerance for the courses for which this condition is set.
FLEXIBLE: You may only take this course if you have previously taken the courses for which this condition is set.
SIMULTANEOUS: You may only take this course if you also take the courses for which this condition is set (or have taken them previously).
DEGREE: You may only take this course if you have obtained this degree level.
SIMULTANEOUS(Z26224) AND STRICT(Z13169)
The codes of the course units mentioned above correspond to the following course descriptions:
Z13169 : Clinical Practice 1
Z26224 : Clinical Education 2: Non-Delivery Room
This course unit is a prerequisite for taking the following course units:
Z25267 : Clinical Practice 3: Delivery Room
Z26224 : Clinical Education 2: Non-Delivery Room
Is included in these courses of study
Tolerances
This course unit is a non-tolerable course unit in the following study programme(s):
Activities
11 ects. Clinical education (MW 2) delivery room (B-TM-Z64267)
Content
Students complete 7 to 8 weeks of internship at 34h/week for this OPO.
The student is responsible for ensuring that the total number of internship hours is correct on a yearly basis.
The student does an internship in a midwifery department in a Belgian hospital where the student integrates the material seen into practice. Here students make an integration assignment: birthing report. Moreover, they set learning goals and work points on which they reflect weekly. During internship, the student completes the logbook for midwifery skills.
During the year, you participate in (mandatory) skills training or supervised practice sessions (free) for nursing and midwifery skills. Finally, your nursing and midwifery skills are tested at the end of the year.
Students share their midwifery and personal internship experiences with fellow students during supervision. From their own experiences and those of fellow students, students become increasingly professional under the guidance of a teacher. Here, mandatory attendance and cooperation is expected both for students taking both OPOs clinical education and for those students taking either OPO clinical education.
Students are also required to be present in the school for the PIM moments. Various obstetric cases are used, both for discussing obstetric theory and the obstetric thought process, and for practicing various (obstetric) skills, project social needs

Explanation
| Assessment | Grading scale |
|---|---|
| TOTAL | 1-20/20 scale |
If any of the following items of the OPO clinical education midwifery, the student will receive NA (= not present). The OPO leader may decide otherwise.
All internship hours were performed
All internship documents were submitted on time as agreed
The student was present at all mandatory supervision/integration moments from clinical education (unless legitimately absent, and/or in order with replacement assignment if applicable)
See key which is available on the digital learning platform.
Various components
In accordance with the Education and Examination Regulations, no 2nd sitting time is possible for the OPO Clinical Education. The use of tolerances is also not possible. Since, in accordance with the Education and Examination Regulations, no 2nd sitting is possible for the OPO Clinical Education, the commencement of a bis year OPO Clinical Education can only take place from the start of the following academic year.
1Stages
When giving a point for internships, the final evaluation(s) obtained by the student on the internships within this OPO are considered.
The point for internships counts for 80% of the total result of the OPO. Because this section tests learning objectives that are unique, a student must pass it. If a student does not pass this part, he can still obtain a maximum of 9/20 for the OPO.
Note that the grade is not a summative settlement of the various components of the assessment.
Barring report
The result of the birthing report is counted for 10% of the OPO. For this assignment, the student should achieve several learning objectives, including data collection, description of labour and delivery with a focus on the midwife's task. This assignment is sufficiently critically developed by using the listed documents as well as substantiating everything with scientific literature.
A student who submits the assignment late or not can receive a maximum of 10/20 for the OPO.
Summative skills test
At a previously communicated time (see timetable) in the skills centre, the student must demonstrate the following skills under the supervision of a lecturer: a partus in the occipital position on the birth robot and resuscitation of the neonate.
The result of these skills counts for 10% of the result for the OPO.
