I tell all my patients requesting TL that vasectomy is a better and safer option, but in this type of patient it pays to emphasize it even stronger than usual. Of course, that's assuming she is in a monogamous relationship with a significant other, not always the case in this day and age. >New patient today requests TL.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
