UR - Elearning Platform

This module provides the student with knowledge, skills and attitude on midwifery as a science, an art, and a profession.  It has historical, philosophical, ethical and legal aspects of midwifery practice, contemporary issues facing midwifery, and the influence of societal trends on midwifery practice and the health care delivery system.  It examines the current trends and issues which influence the midwifery profession and delivery of health care. The module relates the concepts and theories to their use in problem solving and the midwifery process, and the application of these principles and theories in related settings.

Welcome to the Research and Innovations in Midwifery module!

The purpose of this module is to provide an introduction and overview of research methodology. Nurses and midwifes not only need to use evidence to guide their practice in clinical, administration, and academic positions, but also need to participate in the extension of knowledge and theory development.

This module will explore quantitative and qualitative approaches to examining a problem and finding answers to dilemmas through research methodology. Topics that will be discussed in the course include: (a) how to select the best research method for the problem under study, (b) the purpose of a literature review, (c) ethical considerations for all research, and (d) what types of data collection tools and analytic principles should be employed.

Module Description
This module will enable experienced midwives to develop the skills of independent thinking required for advanced midwifery practice. It will also encourage midwives to further develop and enhance the existing knowledge and skills, both by exploring how to promote normality during childbirth and how to care for vulnerable women with complex needs. Emphasis will be put on conditions typically addressed in community-based setting and on nursing care management.

Module description

----------------------

The purpose of this clinical placement is based on the advanced Midwifery Module and to introduce concepts such as reflection and critical thinking in relation to the foundation of midwifery. The learner is also expected to incorporate concept related to midwifery education strategies where appropriate

Dear students ,

welcome to Women's Health module.This course will enable you to increase the understanding of the determinants of Women's Health throughout the stages of their lives both as individuals and party of the community.

Dear Students,

Welcome to the Mentorship and Entrepreneurship in Health Module.

This course deals with mentorship in clinical settings as well as entrepreneurship. The first aim of this course is to prepare midwives to support clinical learning environment through mentoring for better career development of and competent and creative midwives for new venture. It will enable student to become a credible, effective, valued supporter of learning and an assessor of achievement in practice. This course will introduce many aspects required to create a successful new venture. The course also examines creativity in start-ups and creative gap analysis. In addition, the aim of introducing Entrepreneurship unit is to help develop and enhance such qualities as creativity, inventiveness and independent problem-solving skills, so as to strike a balance between theory and practical skills (e.g. how to prepare business plans and accounts) in midwifery education. Apart from offering professional qualifications, the curricula must strengthen the individual´s competences, motivation and drive, with the aim of producing graduates who are both employable and able to create self-employment and thus able to address societal needs. This shift in thinking of the relevance of the UR curricula will contribute to producing graduates with developed business sense in their relevant disciplines who are independent, innovative, critical thinkers, and are also competent and competitive at national, regional and international levels.

THIS PERIOD IS ALLOWED TO REALIZE THE PRACTICES FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH MODULE WHICH INCLUDE THE SKILLS OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND COMMUNITY MIDWIFERY.

 Dear students ,

this a platform to discuss about your clinical placement in advanced neonatology and submission of your portfolios.

Dear students,

Welcome to the teaching methodology module. This module is designed to assist you in understanding and applying the fundamental principles of teaching/learning as they apply to midwifery education in the classroom, clinical and laboratory settings. The focus throughout this module is on the study and application of teaching learning principles, theories, communication, and strategies to the teaching/learning process. It is designed to assist you in understanding and applying innovative methods of teaching and evaluation that promote active and independent learners.

Dear all ,

welcome to EBP , As you all know  you started  getting topics of your EBP.

In order to keep on tract , we should use Moodle to see where everyone is reaching.

Best of luck

Animal systematics provides solid foundations in what types of animal groups and how they differ from one another. It builds on biological knowledge and skills to identify and classify animals into taxonomic groups through a series of field and laboratory investigations. Moreover, this module focuses on wildlife conservation perspectives and strategies of learning and teaching aquatic and terrestrial fauna found in Rwanda and in the region.

The aim of this module is to learn in detail the modern methods of separation, identification and quantification of natural products, sampling techniques, and statistical interpretation of the results. This module is limited to instrumental methods of analysis such as: spectrophotometry, chromatography and electroanalytical methods.
