It is becoming more and more common to use the grammatically incorrect construction "to not..." This is a split infinitive and ungainly. The correct construction is "not to..." I'm sorry but it makes me go "grrrrr."

Pedantry is one of my strong points.

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.
