Med Students for Homebirth

Most exciting is a screening that was done at the University of Missouri (with the huge med school there) last Wednesday. (Organized by a nursing student/aspiring midwife.) There were a lot of nursing and Womens' Studies students there... as well as some medical students and residents.   Most thrilling was the call a local homebirth-friendly physician received a couple of days after the Orgasmic Birth screening. It was a fourth year medical resident who had been in attendance at the film. The young female resident was calling to tell her that she and a few of the med students who had attended the screening stayed to talk to each other afterwards and had decided that they would start a "Med Students for Homebirth" group at the University and start working towards changing the way the medical profession views homebirth and midwives.
