Regulations Governing the Practice of Licensed Midwives
 

As a medical provider (CPM), licensed in the state of Virginia, due to the law, I am unable to carry or administer life saving medications including antihemorrhagics, that I am trained to use in community birth (out of hospital birth).  This is an inconsistency in our regulations that impacts midwifery care and public health.  Move us forward Virginia!
