However, in the US, I don't see that having a room wtihout sinks is desirable. I have terrible upper airway reactivity to the fumes from gel sanitizers. I much prefer soap and water. Often times there is a mess from menses, bleeding from tenaculums, SROM during a labor check, etc. I can't imagine no sink and water....both for provider and patient. And I'm sure public health codes will have something to say about this.

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.
