Teachers: Jan Tritten and Robbie Davis-Floyd, Ph.D. Content: Anthropologist Robbie Davis-Floyd has taken a special interest in American midwifery organizations and how they interact and act independently. She and Jan talk about the aspects, history, and associations of all the midwifery organizations and how they affect American midwifery and birth. They discuss the history of nurse-midwives, MANA, ACNM, MEAC, certification, and the Bridge Club. When differences are set aside, progress is made.
