In reply to: William D. McIntosh, M.D: "Re: casual research question" Next in thread: D. Ashley Hill: "Re: casual research question" Interesting response Bill. I too was in love with surgery as a student and after a rotating internship, did one year of general surgery residency before being drafted during the Viet Nam era. I did two years of general surgery in the military and decided I did not much care for the gore and guts and especially the colon resections (before the days of widespread use of staples) and radical breasts. As a student, my second love was OB for the same reasons as some of the other listers (usually young, healthy women ) and the instant gratification of OB (I consider 9 months relatively instant vs. IM or Psych) and gyn surgery. As a student, one of my mentors had done a surgical residency first and then went into OBG. He advised me that the surgical training would hold me in good stead, should I ever decide to go into OBG, and he was correct. -- Gordon M. Goldman, M.D., FACOG Private Practice, St. Louis, Mo.

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.
