Ashley Hill Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 2:36 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: Sad but true (long) Our hospital's website lists physicians and includes their gender under demographic information. I asked why they don't include physician ethnicity, religious preference, height and weight on the site, but they told me that "those things have nothing to do with physician qualifications." Apparently they do not understand the irony. Thankfully the pendulum has (mostly) swung away from gender-based patient preference in our area. Now most patients seem to be searching for clinical excellence. Good luck. Ashley -- D.

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.
