The Midwifery department of Odisee, University of applied sciences is in Sint-Niklaas. Students interested in a traineeship in Belgium perform 38 hours a week and can carry out their practical training in a regional hospital on the following wards: labour and delivery, maternity, neonatology.
We offer short and long mobility options, which can be combined up to a maximum of 22 ECTS:
There is a possibility to follow an additional course on Medical English (3 ECTS) or a Dutch language course (3 ECTS).
Traineeships are possible in both Autumn and Spring semester, depending on the available places for practical training in the hospital. Evaluation of the practical training is done by a comprehensive system of reflections, feedback from midwives and written/oral evaluations. The practical training is supervised by one of the lecturers of our Midwifery department.
Students must perform different kind of shifts (early, day, late and night shifts), including weekends and public holidays. A detailed planning will be provided by our practical training coordinator a few weeks before the start of the traineeship.
