No, actually.

Of course, Middle Wives MAY be more favored, because the top of the class today (and those of you near academic institutions chime in here) are quite likely Aspys, or close to it. They have very marginal "people" skills, book study all the time, and end up being clinically very poor. Not always, so don't anyone get offended out there if Junior is top of his class and Podunk U. But the nerd factor in the smart ones does not lend itself well to OB-GYN.

<snipped Doctor Joe's great post>

So, it's half of the bottom 10% of medical school classes with their trickle down academics who are responsible for the state of modern American obstetrics, with its sky high c-section rate, high interventionist philosophy, and insecurity in regards to midwives?

Would this picture look any different if half of the top 10% of medical school graduates were OB-Gynes? (I know, they'd become midwives instead.)

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.
