Did you know that if you are a primary author of a chapter in a peer reviewed textbook relevant to midwifery and women's health, you may receive recognition in lieu of 10 contact hours. A photocopy of the published chapter from the textbook is required for documentation. Secondary authors may request 5 hours. Acceptable documentation includes a copy of the document and evidence of the degree of their participation in the development of the chapter. An example of this evidence would be a statement in the publication describing each author’s participation.
