Differences between a CNM and an OB-GYN


Hello all, I need some help. I have to do a presentation for one of my classes on CNM, and one of the topics I have to cover is the differences in practice between a CNM and an OB-GYN. The info must come from a professional nursing or goverment website. I know this should be easy, but for some reason I am having difficulty locating what I need. If someone can help point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

First where I work obgyn does the surgeries and complicated deliveries. The obgyn makes decisions on medications that Induce or augments labor also.

The govt website that deals with careers is the US Department of Labor. www.dol.gov
Look at the Occupational Handbook for more info than you ever imagined! Good Luck!

You may find some info at www.acnm.com. Also, check out the movie "The Business of Being Born" if you haven't already. It does a pretty good job of defining what a midwife is, I think.
