This document outlines a plan to develop a learning module on therapeutic midwifery skills for first year undergraduate midwifery students. It discusses considerations for a new flexible midwifery program being delivered in a blended format including both online and face-to-face components. Key issues to address include ensuring internet access, cultural diversity, accessibility, and sustainability of the program. The course will need to determine how to structure learning opportunities to promote student development of midwifery skills through a combination of background information, practice settings, formative assessments, and feedback while supporting those who require extra assistance.
