As a result, it is generally observed that minimum teaching takes place during these emergencies.  \nThis study aimed to formulate a simulation learning module centered on chosen obstetrical emergencies and evaluate its efficacy in measuring the competency of undergraduate midwifery students.  \nDesign and participants  \nThe study utilized a non-randomized time series interventional research design among 188 midwifery students (control group 90, intervention group 98) . A hybrid simulation was administered to the intervention group. The research employed several tools: a proforma for background variables, a structured questionnaire, and the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) of selected obstetrical emergencies.  \nResults  \nIn the present study, 98% of participants in the control group demonstrated inadequate competency in thepretest, post-test I, and post-test II. In contrast, all participants (100%) in the intervention group had adequate competency followed by moderately adequate competency in the post-test I and post-test II. The study reported that there was a significant difference between the assessments (pretest, post-test-I, posttest-II) in the knowledge and skills of the interventional group with the effect size (eta squared=0 .70, 0.99), respectively. The results showed a statistically significant difference (P\u003C0 .001) in overall competency scores between the control and intervention groups at pretest, with a moderate effect size (Cohen 's d=0 .68) . The intervention group demonstrated substantial improvements at post-test I (Cohen 's d=23 .61) and post-test II (Cohen 's d=15 .83) .  \nConclusion  \nHybrid simulation is an appropriate method for equipping healthcare providers to gain and maintain competence in managing obstetric emergencies. Therefore, simulation must be incorporated into the curriculum to allow students to immerse themselves in their clinical learning, which enhances their communication, confidence, and satisfaction.  \nCategories: Obstetrics/Gynecology, Medical Simulation  \nKeywords: competency, knowledge, learning experience, midwifery students, obstetrical emergencies, postpartum hemorrhage (pph), simulation, simulation based learning, simulation learning module, skills  \nIntroduction  \nObstetrical emergencies are a paramount concern in midwives’ daily practice. According to the United Nations Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-agency Group (UN MMEIG) 2020 report, \"Trends in maternal mortality 2000 to 2020,\" the global maternal mortality ratio (MMR) declined from 339 in 2000 to 223 in 2020, representing an average annual rate of reduction (ARR) of 2. 1% .
