Bar Board Members Butt Heads on Malpractice Insurance" Reply: Joe: "Re: Calif. Bar Board Members Butt Heads on Malpractice Insurance" In Missouri, if you live in a county with greater than 75,000 population, and want to have hospital privileges, you are mandate by state statute to have a minimum $500,000/$1,000,000 professional liability coverage to keep your license. So, if a dermatologist who does not see hospital patients wishes, they need not have coverage, but if they want hospital privileges, they must have coverage. Does not make sense to me either, but that's the law. -- 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.
