The Director of this division is also a full-time faculty member in the Department. Nurse-midwives care for selected low risk obstetric patients in the antepartum, intrapartum (including delivery) and postpartum periods. The nurse-midwives perform approximately twenty-five percent of the deliveries at Grady Hospital. The presence of nurse-midwives on the Obstetric Service is a valuable experience for the residents. Residents can form their impression of paraobstetric personnel and how valuable their contribution is to a well organized clinical service. Residents also gain valuable experience serving as consultants to the nurse-midwives.
