Re: TX doctor wins 2.5M peer review suitFrom: DoctorJoe@aol.comMon Oct 23 12:50:52 2006
In a message dated 10/23/2006 12:40:49 P.M. Central Standard Time, bmargot@telus.net writes: I agree. Peer review is meant to be educational. Issues of remedial training or loss of licensure should be dealt with by your licensing body (College of Physicians and Surgeons, State Medical Board, etc.) Well, in truth "peer review" in the sense of hospital committees is a risk management process to insure safe patient care. It MAY include remedial study or monitoring if a physician is found to be deficient. It can also lead to loss of credentialing. Sometimes peer review has an aspect of "M&M" included in it, which is educational. Also, sometimes the deficiencies uncovered by peer review lead to educational programs beyond simply the case in question. Obviously, licensing is the province of the licensing board, which is (usually) an arm of the executive branch of government (i.e. the governor), at least here in the "States." Joe P.

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.
