The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) is the medical trade association of certified nurse-midwives and certified midwives.

The ACNM maintains an office in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Circumcision position statement

The ACNM has adopted a position statement that endorses the performance of non-therapeutic circumcision on newborn infant boys by certified nurse-midwives.[1]

A review of the position statement reveals numerous issues with inaccurate and/or outmoded information.

  • The statement lists unprovable "potential benefits" instead of actual provable benefits.
  • The statement cites bias filled papers from Brian J. Morris and his colleagues.
  • The statement provides outmoded and inaccurate information regarding protection from HIV.
  • The statement cites the American Academy of Pediatrics 2012 position statement on circumcision that was allowed to expire in 2017 due to its huge number of deficiencies.
