Cambodia Midwifery Exit Exam case studies
Cambodia Midwifery Exit Exam · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Cambodia Midwifery Exit Exam is the national assessment that graduating midwifery students sit before they can register and practise as midwives in Cambodia. It is intended for final-year students from public and private midwifery training programmes and for candidates whose training followed the national competency-based curriculum. The examination tests whether you can apply the full scope of midwifery practice safely, not just recall theory. Content is organised around nine domains: antenatal care and normal pregnancy; intrapartum care and normal labour; postpartum care and immediate newborn care; obstetric emergencies and referral; newborn emergencies and neonatal resuscitation; reproductive health, family planning and safe abortion care; infection prevention, HIV/STI and PMTCT; professional ethics, law and scope of practice; and health system, community health and health education. The Cambodia Midwifery Exit Exam case studies are 5 cases and about 3,068 words.
