That makes for a two way street. For terms of one unacceptable to the other, the street is one way. Each is on their own: the patient without a physician and the physician without a patient. In emergency situations in the hospital setting, the physician's judgment, for which there is accountability, takes precedent. Just my opinion. Not really complex. zbn --- >----- Original Message ----- From: "Garry E.

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.
