The U.S. ranks #23 in infant mortality, meaning 22 other countries have lower infant mortality rates. Some of the countries which fare better than the U.S. are Japan, Finland, Sweden, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Netherlands, France, N. Ireland, etc... Most of these countries use midwives to attend the majority of normal, healthy births, and homebirth is still quite normal in the Scandinavian countries. For a list of the countries in ranking order and # of neonatal deaths per 1000, see: http://www.medaccess.com/health93/TABLE025.htm J. Taylor

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.
