Maternal Health in Crisis: Ensuring Nationwide Access to Maternity Care Providers. Year Developed: 2017. Source: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs and NIHCM Foundation. Presenter(s): Ashlyn Christianson, Katy Kozhimannil PhD, Mallory Schwarz. Type: Webinar. Level: Intermediate. Length: 90 minutes.

Annotation: Nearly half of all U.S. counties lack a practicing OB-GYN, and the shortage is expected to grow, with projections showing as many as 8,800 fewer OB-GYNs practicing than will be needed in 2020.
