If I would have "known" that the CNM mother wanted to deliver her child, I would have told my CNM that she should apply for provisional privileges for this particular case. It would not have been a problem, because the Chief of Staff would have signed off on it, he is also an OB I share call with. >Two sides to this one - logically, this case suggests that the issue of >hospital privileges is now a moot point. provisional or courtesy >privileges can be granted but they must be sought. this case simply >ignored the rules, so it's no wonder that feathers are ruffled. should >be an interesting one to follow.

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.
