And you only get a bachelor's degree for all that? Damn.

Not necessarily, some just get an advanced diploma same course, just no dissertation or research module.

Our education system is not as good as the states as we do specific subjects which then have a bearing on what degree we can do.

For example, our minimum qualification is GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) It's the old GCE (O Levels) and CSE's merged. GCSE A-C grade are the equivalent of O levels and D-E CSE's. They normally take 10 GCSE's to give them scope to take any A (Advanced) level which are the entry requirements for University. However, if you pass English, History and Geography at GCSE you can't do Maths A level so it can be very restrictive. What you pass at GCSE dictates what you can take at A level and what you pass at A level dictates what you take at degree level.

For Diploma or Advanced Diploma midwifery you need 5 GCSE's grade A-C which includes English, Maths and a science subject. For degree level midwifery you need 3 A level passes.

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.
