innovative exam formats for modern training

The exams were carried out for the first time in a new format based on the nationwide study and examination regulations for midwives.

Community commitment to success

The preparation was complex and called for a high organizational effort, including the extraction of suitable pregnant women, the provision of rooms and materials as well as the coordination of the auditors. This teamwork shows how important a strong community is for the success of the exams, which in turn has a positive impact on training.

The new exam formats reflect a trend that revolutionizes practical training: Simulations and realistic scenarios prepare the midwives of tomorrow for the challenges of the profession and ensure that they are able to act both medically competent and empathetic.
