Betsy:

One of my partners managed her labor and section. Remember, this is a patient that our practice had advised to have a scheduled section a week earlier, and she had refused. We had decided as a group that if she labored and progressed, so be it, but we would not induce or augment labor.

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.
