Seems no-one is game to answer Efrain and commit themselves, because like many things in obstetrics the question "how long is a piece of string" is a common problem. You said "IMHO - if a multiparous patient needs more than 12 hours for the whole process of elective induction - patient selection was borderline.." and I know that if I am looking after someone who is not delivered before bed time, I feel I made the wrong decision. For me that means I have second thoughts by the 16th hour. Of course, by then it's too late for that!

Other opinions?

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.
