I've always been a big GE fan. They've been in the business for quite some time, and have a complete line of basic office to more advanced machines, and their service has been quick and responsive. We have 2 machines in the LOGIQ line, and have been very happy with their performance.

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.
