Objectives: To summarize the quantitative and qualitative immediate assessments of the Managing Obstetric Emergencies and Trauma (MOET) course and to examine the individual changes in score obtained for each of the scenarios.Methods: Students’ knowledge before and after the course was evaluated with a standardized comprehensive questionnaire.Results: All candidates showed an improvement in postcourse, compared to precourse, scores. In the individual score analysis only one scenario showed a non‐significant change. The majority of other scenarios showed highly significant improvement between the two scores.Conclusion: This paper summarises the development of the first MOET course to be run outside the UK. It demonstrates the reliability of the model‐based scenario foundation with a highly significant improvement in knowledge about obstetric emergency management. Further evaluation of longer term practice changes is now required.
