American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Committee on Obstetric Practice

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Committee on Obstetric Practice considers all clinical aspects of the practice of obstetrics (including maternal and fetal medicine) and makes appropriate recommendations regarding needs in the areas of obstetric education, research, and development.

The committee develops state-of-the-art commentaries, such as Committee Opinions, Technology Assessments, and Practice Advisories, on new techniques and their appropriateness for clinical application, and on obstetric subjects related to clinical management as necessary.

The committee oversees the development of Guidelines for Perinatal Care in conjunctions with the American Academy of Pediatrics’ (AAP’s) Committee on Fetus and Newborn, and collaborates closely with the other ACOG committees and other organizations such as the American Academy of Family Physicians; the American Society for Anesthesiology, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine; the American College of Nurse-Midwives; the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses; the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and the Society of OB/GYN Hospitalists.
