I like the idea of giving that second series of steroids when delivery seems iminent prior to 32 or 34 weeks. I try never to let the facts or data confuse my decision making. agf >From: "R.

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.
