If it is a matter of them doing them in a clinical setting (as CNM's) then my question is... trained is trained, is it not? Would you rather have a CNM who is trained as a mohel and has done many circumcisions doing them, or an OB or Ped for whom it is their first alone, without supervision? I think my major concern would be if something DID go wrong. It seems obvious that it is not the standard of care for a CNM to do circumcision. And if the CNM is doing it in a clinical setting, rather than during the bris ceremony that a mohel works in, then the CNM is operating as a CNM, not a mohel. If there were a lawsuit after something went wrong, how much trouble would the CNM and the hospital be in for going against the standard of care? -- Suzanne S.

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.
