I have been following this discussion only to realize how moot it really is. Most new grads will not eve deliver normal twins if they are not vertex/vertex and who is going to vbac twins when when VBAC rates for singletons are plummeting?

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.
