Description

The article's simulation lab ran over three weeks (one day per week per section of 8-10 students, 8 am to 4 pm) before clinical placement, week by week covering antenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum skills. Each session begins with a patient report and a work-allocation meeting, and "The student's practice was recorded and used for debriefing and evaluation. Debriefing was done every 40 minutes of practice for 20 minutes." This mirrors the briefing-participation-debriefing structure the article attributes to Cant & Cooper (2009) and the Jeffries framework.
