New ACOG Guidance on PATH Prenatal Care (May 2025)

On December 13, 2022, we released an episode describing a new concept in prenatal care, called the PATH model. This was to “redesign” prenatal care, as needed, for those who may have limitations for the “traditional” model of prenatal care visits. Well, what we covered 2.5 years ago is NOW an OFFIICAL guidance from the ACOG and will be out in May 2025. Similarly, the SMFM released their vision for redesigned maternal care teams on 16 April 2025 (J Pregnancy). We will BRIEFLY summarize these 2 publications in this episode.
