In-person teaching remains a cornerstone of obstetric and gynaecological clinical skills education, of which interprofessional simulation and clinical-based placement are key components. Teaching via online discourse alone, is not sufficient to completely replace and provide comparable learning outcomes, but certainly plays an important role to prime students' learning and to maximise in-person opportunities and resources. Our study reveals key pedagogies of a blended (online and in-person) learning program, providing further evidence to support its ongoing utility as a feasible and warranted approach to learning.
