We recently had a female OBGYN join our group of four men. Muslims are rather numerous in our area and she had a lot of these patients at once. As we work on an on-call basis, we asked our staff to specify that the patients may see a male in case of emergency and for the deliveries. Four chances out of five. BC

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.
