It wouldn't eliminate the problem of course...only control the rampage of ridiculous litigation. The agreements would have to be signed under carefully controlled circumstances... It would be interesting to actually see one of these agreements. -- Douglas Krell MD >From: "Robert J.

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.
