How in the world are you going to afford an u/s machine on a midwife's profit?

You'd be better off sending your patients to a free-standing MRI/ultrasound clinic. Let them to do the interpretation and deal with billing.

There's more to the issue than training - start-up cost, upkeep, retraining, and LIABILITY. If you declare the AFI to be adequate for home birth, and you're wrong.

Yes. I need to learn basics. But I fear the image will still look like a blurry smudge to me even when I technically know how to do one! I've gotten good references off list. I like low intervention, but hey, I don't want to ask an OB to do my patient's U/S.

Grace no more multiple fluffy posts!

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.
