I don't do OB - but various companies are frequently ready to give me ones ... but I have the OB WHEEL on my PDA ... I often am counseling my patients (or add ins) about pregnancy - where to go for PN care and counseling about termination options - so I use it frequently - it does all the stuff thewheel did ...

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.
