Had the pleasure of meeting R. Dan Braun in my session on Controversies and Emerging Trends in OB. Look forward to seeing other OB-GYN.net folks at the Adagio on Tuesday night.

Not just the hard ones -- ALL of them. I thought that was very smart. Joanne PS - just had a great dinenr with ObGyn netters Dan Braun, Gordon goldman and Richard Chudacoff. Missed the rest of you who are either a) not in San Fran or b) here but not having time out with new people. Joanne At Fri, 6 May 2005, 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.
