Re: Left-handed learners From: Zachariah Newton (zbnewton@bellsouth.net) Tue May 31 23:56:26 2005 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Previous message: R. Daniel Braun: "Re: Left-handed learners" Maybe in reply to: Cheri Van Hoover: "Left-handed learners" Cheri- Experience as a left-hander, God blessed with dexterity skills (many tasks performed right-handed).. In first year of residency at Duke, while assisting at surgery with Dr.Roy Parker, a sit-in for God, remarked that an additional item would be added to application form:: "Are you left-handed'/" Not an issue today. But, I felt remorse for left-handed applicants who followed. In truth, Dr. Parker knew God, and he would never consider the series of disclaimers, including hand dominance, for an applicant that rang his bell. Like any categorical assignment, if there be an issue, that kills the matter of a relationship. Time to move on. In one word, it is "next"? ZBN -- So, yeah, left-handers have equal rights. >----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheri Van Hoover" <cherivh@xdcr.com> To: "Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L" <ob-gyn-l@dns.obgyn.net> Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2005 12:17 AM Subject: Left-handed learners > We currently have a left-handed midwifery student.

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.
