Medscape: Was a nurse midwife involved the writing process as a liaison to your practice committee?
Dr. Macones: Yes. I was Chair of the committee on Obstetric Practice as this was being developed. It began when I was chairing the committee but wasn’t finished until I had rotated off as Chair. But nursing representative were involved, from the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) and from the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nursing (AWHONN).
