On this side of the pond I have never heard "face to pubis" terminiology. Some of us listers felt this meant occiput posterior. Oterhs as myself thought we were talking about a "face presentation" and further assumed mentum anterior. Face to pubis sounds like midwife terminology. El needs to clarify. 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.
