In a business like fashion –“Since from now on I am going to be your client…” Interrupting in a surprised, nonchalant manner –“I thought you were going to be my patient”

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.
