Methods: This study will be conducted over 1 year in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology in association with a virtual school of learning at DMIMSDU after acquiring ethical committee clearance.100interns of the department of obstetrics and gynaecology will be divided into two groups of 50 each. Group 1 will be provided video lecture-based training on normal labour, Group 2 will be provided birthing simulator(SimMom) used as a learning tool. Results: There will be a significant improvement in skill-based competencies of trainees who undergo simulation-based learning compared through those who undergo video-based learning for management of normal labour. Conclusion: Hence simulation-based learning should be part of routine intern training in the curriculum in management of normal labour apart from didactic video sessions for better acquisition of skill-based competencies.&#13;
