OBJECTIVE: to design a criterion-referenced assessment tool that could be used globally in a rapid assessment of good practices and bottlenecks in midwifery education programs. DESIGN: a standard tool development process was followed, to generate standards and reference criteria; followed by external review and field testing to document psychometric properties. SETTING: review of standards and scoring criteria were conducted by stakeholders around the globe. Field testing of the tool was conducted in Myanmar. PARTICIPANTS: eleven of Myanmar׳s 22 midwifery education programs participated in the assessment. FINDINGS: the clinimetric tool was demonstrated to have content validity and high inter-rater reliability in use. KEY CONCLUSIONS: a globally validated tool, and accompanying user guide and handbook are now available for conducting rapid assessments of compliance with good practice criteria in midwifery education programming.
