“…These challenges are in part the result of the state-required supervision of nurse-midwives by physicians, with California one of only eight remaining states with this kind of restrictive language (found to neither promote patient safety nor decrease vicarious liability) defining the CNM-obstetrician relationship. 5,6 It is clear that without this language there would be significantly fewer barriers to collaborative obstetric-CNM practice.…”

For more than 30 years the collaboration between obstetrician-gynecologists and certified nurse-midwives at San Francisco General Hospital has led to the provision of high-quality care to women and families. This enduring partnership has been sustained by shared goals and values, most notably a commitment to excellence in both providing care to the underserved and training the next generation of physicians and nurse-midwives. Success has also depended on a mutual respect for differences that has enabled the collaborative to capitalize on the distinct expertise of each partner. The balance struck between independence and interdependence of the practice groups has led to innovation and successes that might otherwise not have come to being, while also enabling the collaborative to overcome the inevitable conflicts and challenges that arise within this type of long-standing partnership. This model holds promise for replication in other settings and informs broader considerations of health policy and regulation.

“…En Uruguay están protegidas por una norma legal del 1° de octubre de 2002, que obliga el nombramiento de al menos una partera en cada centro donde se atienden partos. 46 Colombia: Con soporte en la Ley 39 de 1920 (octubre 22, sancionada por el presidente Marco Fidel Suárez), 47 se estableció la enseñanza de Comadronas y Enfermeras en la Facultad de Medicina; se creó la Escuela de parteras del profesor Rafael Barben, adscrita a la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Con el Decreto 995 de 1924 del presidente Pedro Nel Ospina, se reglamentó el oficio de partera y se les dio cabida en los hospitales de Colombia.…”

“…Swanson and Roberts have recently opined on this subject, arguing that, amongst other factors, the increase in the numbers and diversity of medical schools and the increasing mobility of the medical workforce will increase the demand for NLEs globally [4]. But exactly what form NLEs should take, what they should cover and who they should assess remains a source of debate [5–11], as doctors and other healthcare workers increasingly wish to move across national or regional (state) boundaries [5, 12–16]. …”

The impact of large scale licensing examinations in highly developed countries: a systematic review

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundTo investigate the existing evidence base for the validity of large-scale licensing examinations including their impact.MethodsSystematic review against a validity framework exploring: Embase (Ovid Medline); Medline (EBSCO); PubMed; Wiley Online; ScienceDirect; and PsychINFO from 2005 to April 2015. All papers were included when they discussed national or large regional (State level) examinations for clinical professionals, linked to examinations in early careers or near the point of graduation, and where success was required to subsequently be able to practice. Using a standardized data extraction form, two independent reviewers extracted study characteristics, with the rest of the team resolving any disagreement. A validity framework was used as developed by the American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association, and National Council on Measurement in Education to evaluate each paper’s evidence to support or refute the validity of national licensing examinations.Results24 published articles provided evidence of validity across the five domains of the validity framework. Most papers (n = 22) provided evidence of national licensing examinations relationships to other variables and their consequential validity. Overall there was evidence that those who do well on earlier or on subsequent examinations also do well on national testing. There is a correlation between NLE performance and some patient outcomes and rates of complaints, but no causal evidence has been established.ConclusionsThe debate around licensure examinations is strong on opinion but weak on validity evidence. This is especially true of the wider claims that licensure examinations improve patient safety and practitioner competence.
