Here it is 30-50%. So, getting 20-25 Dollars for pushing a box of OCP over the counter does counts as f***king fortune. We try to condomize too, most public institutions have a box standing at reception. el In message <200504211251.j3LCpSQ32043@dns.obgyn.net>, Anna Meenan, MD writes: > el, in this country, the pharmacist is paid a decent salary for what he > does, and the f***king fortune goes to the drug companies.

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.
