Afghanistan Midwifery Exit Exam · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Afghanistan Midwifery Exit Examination is the assessment that graduating midwifery students sit before they can register and practise as midwives in Afghanistan. It is designed for students completing a recognised midwifery education programme, and it tests whether they can apply the full scope of midwifery care safely and independently, from the first antenatal visit through labour, birth, the postpartum period and the newborn's first days. The Afghanistan Midwifery Exit Exam case studies are 5 cases and about 3,011 words.
