SANA carried out the 3rd educational session with the midwifery students. The main topic covered today was the 6-Step Approach to obstetrical sonography.

 

The session commenced where 6 of the students who have already worked on the SonoSim Simulator each shared a key pearl with their colleagues from their experience. Mariam, Marie, Nada, Riham, Sara and Yasmine each had a practical tip for her colleagues.

 

Subsequently an interactive didactic session ensued and the class was shown video clips of the 6 steps. The trainees were asked to figure out fetal lie and fetal sidedness. It was a most interesting session for all involved!

 

After the completion of the didactic session, Riham, Nada and Sara each had images obtained using the SonoSim Simulator on which they wanted feedback. They had saved them on their smart phones. This proved most helpful as the were critiqued on the biometric planes and caliper placement. It proved to be an amazing teaching exercise!
