Gee - here in "Podunk, NH" we have been over & over the handwashing and have all the alcohol stuff in the halls and in the rooms - and the elevators and numerous other places - and periodic monitoring (meaning someone observes who goes in & out of rooms and does (or does not) use the stuff.

I even use it on the bell of the stethescope as I walk in & out of the room.

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.
