In the United States there are growing examples of physician and certified nurse-midwife collaborations capitalizing on the strengths of both disciplines working in the best interest of the patient and her family. The philosophy and practice of certified nurse-midwives (CNMs), however, are not embraced universally by all physicians, and childbirth continues to be treated and reimbursed as a disease process. As Americans seek to establish a partnership with those providing their care, they will naturally embrace advanced practice nurses and reach a mutually beneficial health outcome.
在美国，越来越多的医生与认证护士助产士合作的例子表明，双方利用各自专业优势，以患者及其家庭的最大利益为出发点开展工作。然而，并非所有医生都普遍接受认证护士助产士（CNM）的理念和做法，分娩仍被当作一种疾病过程来治疗和报销。随着美国人寻求与提供医疗服务的人员建立伙伴关系，他们自然会接纳高级执业护士，并达成互利的健康成果。
