An evaluation of the effectiveness of an updated pre-service midwifery curriculum integrated with emergency obstetric and newborn care in Kenya: a cluster randomised controlled trial
Training and supportive mentoring improved the quality of educators' teaching pedagogy and EmONC skills and enhanced students' learning. Overall performance in EmONC knowledge and skills was significantly higher for students who were taught by trained and mentored educators compared to those who received training alone. Thus, a local mentoring system is effective to enhance learning and effectiveness of an EmONC-updated midwifery curriculum.
