It sounds like the biases are in the medical executive committee. How would they handle the proctoring of a "new" ob/gyn? We had a similar problem when an ophthalmologist in town had a brain tumor removed. There were lots of concerns re whether or not he would be able to operate and function at the same level. His partner, who was the other Ophthalmologist in town proctored him, he didn't have a problem and was chief of staff a couple of years later.

Sorry for the confusion. My 3 partners are in complete support and have made it clear they will do whatever proctoring and q.a. is necessary. The application went through the credentialing committee with approval, but hit this roadblock at the medical executive committee level. Our group represents all the ob/gyn's in town, but the med exec committee felt that my partners would be to biased to supervise my skills.

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.
