It permits participants to achieve essential competences that could be otherwise difficult. Simulation training enables participants to practice clinical skills in a safe environment. Material and Method: We realized a simulation work-shop on obstetrical ultrasound. We used an ultrasound simulator with second trimester pregnancy videos. The participants were midwives and students. We divided the work-shop participants in two study groups according to their professional experience: group A (midwives) and group B (students). They were trained to determine the fetal position in uterus and measure biparietal diameter (BPD), fetal head circumference (HC), fetal abdominal circumference (CA) and femur length (FL). We evaluated the time spent for achieving each image, the number of images obtained in 10 minutes of examination and the images quality. Conclusion
