Abstract

Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) and Obstetrician-Gynecologists (OBGs) have a long history of successful collaborative practice serving Native American women from the 1960s. CNMs provide holistic, patient-centered care focusing on normal pregnancy and childbirth. OBGs support CNMs with consultation services focusing on complications during pregnancy and specialty gynecology care. Collaborative care in Indian Health Service and Tribal sites optimizes maternity care in a supportive environment, achieving excellent outcomes including low rates of cesarean deliveries and high rates of successful vaginal birth after cesarean.
