Home birth midwives do not attend home "deliveries" they attend home "births". Doctors may deliver patients from their labor experience while homebirth attendants help women through labor without delivering her from anything. I don't deliver babies either. I do assist in perineal support and all the little turns during birth, but women birth their babies themselves, I "catch" them.

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.
