A Word about Filing Complaints

        Licensed midwives of Idaho would like to ask clients who have a complaint to consider filing an initial complaint with the Midwifery Review Board. The MRB is comprised of 4-5 experienced licensed midwives. The Idaho Midwifery Council's Midwifery Review Board offers an accountability process to handle complaints or concerns via mediation rather than litigation. Formal complaints between any midwife, certified or non-certified, and a consumer, client, or other health care professional may be brought before the board for a fair hearing. The intent is not to sit in judgment or to issue punishment. The goal is to enhance communication, knowledge, skills accountability, and credibility within the midwifery community. Using the MRB is the first step in resolving any issues you may have with your healthcare provider. Your cooperation in this is greatly appreciated!
