They should NOT however be at all involved in the actual delivery unless they are certified to do so. To do otherwise BEGS for medical-legal disaster in case anything went wrong.>> Well, the scoop I had from the local neonatologists on the "Doula literature" is that the first guy who did a study showing they were good became the de facto expert and the REVIEWER of all subsequent articles. So anything that contradicted his original study didn't get printed. Anyone have any other insight into this? Joe P. P.S. Don't get me wrong. I supported our nurses when they were trying to get a Doula program going down here... I'm just chatting politics here.

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.
