I'm just guessing that you're referring to Dr. Eisenstein and Homefirst. He does not work with direct-entry midwives that I know of, only CNM's. Your comment on their outcomes is entirely anecdotal, and yes, a erm IUFD could have happened in your practice. -- Anna Meenan, MD At Sat, 22 Apr 2006, RModugno@aol.com wrote: > >on 4/22/06 6:55 AM Lyndon Taylor said the following: > >The midwife is not on staff at the hospital but the patients family >> practice doctor is.

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.
