Midwife Admitting Privileges

Midwives around the country are trying to get admitting privileges. Ideally, becoming voting medical staff is the gold standard, but gaining admitting privileges is a start. ACNM is working to develop a list of hospitals where midwives do not need a physician's signature to admit, so your participation would be appreciated. This information will help ACNM as we prepare for our federal privileging legislation.
