New technologies have transformed nursing and midwifery education in recent years, revealing new opportunities and challenges for educators and students. Virtual learning can increase educational access and opportunities for students living in remote areas, offering an alternative for delivering courses, practicing simulations, and facilitating clinical experiences at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition, virtual educational strategies have become a useful tool for access to knowledge, overcoming geographical barriers and time constraints in nursing and midwifery education. Nursing and Midwifery schools have the opportunity to plan and implement competency development initiatives for faculty; update their curricula with a goal to increasing the use of information and communication technologies in all areas; and take new approaches to teaching online, hybrid, and simulation-based programs. Capacity building for nursing and midwifery faculty and tutors is an opportunity to accelerate and expand training and continuing education strategies for nursing and midwifery professionals, in order to increase the supply and adequate distribution of qualified professionals who can contribute to achieving resilient health systems.
