This is silly. Father's are obviously part of the receiving end and doulas are providing a service for a fee - as such they are held to different professional levels of responsibility if they start putting their hands in a delivery field.

Ask any attorney,.

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.
