Under the act, a licensed midwife is required to make certain oral and written disclosures to prospective clients. Under the act, the board is authorized to suspend or revoke the license of a midwife for specified conduct, including unprofessional conduct consisting of, among other things, incompetence or gross negligence in carrying out the usual functions of a licensed midwife.
