LONDON (Reuters) - More than half of doctors questioned in a poll said morale within the profession is "poor" or "terrible", blaming government targets and reforms for the downbeat atmosphere. A total of 54 percent of the 1,442 online survey respondents said morale within the profession was at a low, with more than two-thirds saying it had worsened during the past year. Just 2 percent said morale was "excellent" in the survey carried out by the magazine "Hospital Doctor". Nearly 70 percent said they would not recommend a career in medicine to friends or relatives. http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=560932007&format=print Art -- art fougner, md "May The Wings of Liberty Never Lose a Feather." - Jack Burton Next message: Joe Cutchin: "Re: Dallas doctor wins .3 million verdict against physicians' group" Previous message: art fougner, md: "Re: GEN: Morale 'Terrible' Among UK Doctors"

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.
