Re: 2/06 ACOG Statement on "Lay" MidwiferyFrom: GA12L@aol.comThu Feb 23 15:28:11 2006
How are midwives trained in the US or any other part of the world for that matter? Here in the UK it is for 3 years. There are 6 modules (2 in each year) and in each module there is an exam and an assignment of 5000 words, research based and referenced. We also have to pass about 20 competencies and provide supplementary evidence (1000 words) for each one. This is on top of full time clinical placements (37.5 hours a week). We have to conduct 40 'deliveries' with placenta (no placenta and we can't count it) 100 antenatal checks and 100 postnatal checks and 25 booking interviews. At the end we have to have a caseload of 12 women do all their antenatal care; be on call for them 24/7 and do all their postnatal checks. And we have to make up any sick time at the end of each module in our holidays. Oh, and then there's the dissertation of 10,000 words at the end if it is a degree course. Gail

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
