As such, they can be used only for a limited time (72 hours period) between 24 and 32 weeks for indications such as preterm labor or degenerating fibroids. Lynn -- Lynn D.

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.
