Re: Elective Induction - something goes wrong From: Anna Meenan, MD (annam@uic.edu) Tue Jul 6 23:04:46 2004 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Elrod Glen Maj 3 MDG/SGOB: "Re: Elective Induction - something goes wrong" Previous message: Larry Glazerman: "Hysteroscopy complications" In reply to: Elrod Glen Maj 3 MDG/SGOB: "Re: Elective Induction - something goes wrong" Next in thread: Steve & Eryl Raymond: "Re: Elective Induction - something goes wrong" Just curious. What exactly are the "social reasons" that indicate the induction? I don't induce anyone before 41 weeks without a compelling medical reason. As an FP, I have to get a consult from an OB to induce, and if I asked for a consult at 38.5 weeks, any of my usual consultants would probably ask me just when exactly had I lost my marbles.

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.
