Good question Dean...my last cd copy is a couple of years old...for years I did the annual update, but haven't for awhile. Now I feel remiss for commenting without insuring the resource is still available....as many other listers will say, Google is our friend...think I'll do that right now.

On another note, I would recommend becoming extremely familiar with the ACOG compendia of committe opinions, practice bulletins and educational bulletins. Seems so often we will have our noses buried in some very esoteric journal articles pushing the edge of research and speculation, yet remain less than informed on those very practical and important ACOG publications. I always recall a comment made to me on a racquet ball court one night many years ago, by a (then) president of his state's plaintiffs attorneys organzation. He noted how odd it always seemed to him that in general his colleagues seemed to be more familiar with that material than practicing obgyns who got sued by himself and his colleagues, lol.

Thanks for the informatino about Scierra. I did not know it was still in print. I had a subscription to it when I was a resident, but have not seen it for years and years.

Are any of the other references available on the internet or by CD ROM for updating purposes?

I'd also suggest the six volume Gynecology and Obstetrics "looseleaf" and CD-ROM series, eited by John Sciarra and associates, out of Univ of Chicago (I believe) from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins...updated annually, easily updated in the looseleaf ringbinder volumes by simple add/remove effort for new/old pages. Of course the CD-ROM is a snap for updates and certainly an unbelievable reference when loaded to a keychain USB flash drive. I love books, the visual and tactile sensations just seem so "right", but this one reference can replace many feet of bookshelf volumes, whether its on a flashdrive, CD, or even the six ring binder set.

- Williams textbook on OB/GYN - Creasey's textbook on MFM - Drugs in Pregnancy and Lactation - Nyberg's text on ultrasound - ACOG's web site I always liked the (most recent) TeLinde's. I think John Rock was the editor most recently, but I could be wrong.

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.
