After this post I thought I has better go back and reread my material which I have done. Unfortunately the demonstration project on home births by the ministry of health has still not provided the appropriate information, and there is nothing present in the information provided physicians that delineates the home birth criteria. VBAC and Breech are considered indications for consultation to physician but not transfer of care. If you have information that I do not, I would be grateful to receive a copy. John

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.
