I didn't know about the federal stance that ACNM has taken on this. I'll share this and the other points you made with our legislators next month when we meet. Thank you!

The ACNM created a stir in CPM circles in 2009 by opposing federal recognition of CPMs for precisely this reason (I blogged it at the time: <a href="http://confutata.com/2009/07/21/cnms_dont_want_to_play/" rel="nofollow">"CNMs don't want to play at providing health care."</a><br /><br />It might come as a surprise to members of the legislature, as NARM doesn't advertise the fact, but fewer than half of CPMs have graduated from a MEAC-approved midwifery course; the majority are credentialled under NARM's PEP provision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
