The idea is that we read up on selected material - whether we do it from original article or from a digest I do not think matters as long as we read that info and be able to regurgitate it in cogent manner. That whole process of reading and answering questions is itself a learning experience, which is what they want.

No more so than that booklet 'Clinical Updates in Women's Health Care" that ACOG publishes. It has a quiz in the back for CME and the answers to the quiz are in the back page of the book. That seems a bit weird to me. Not even the stuff the drug company sponsored sends for CME has the answers in it!!!!!!

Sounds very close to "cheating".

Maybe that is why ABOG is probably going to go back to proctored examinations!

Since I have to do the ABC recertification exam anyway, I was considering making

the essential issues of the articles (which would contain the answers) in a

summarized form available to others who are in a similar situaion. This would

be sort of like the 'Cliff Notes' for the ABC exam.

Would anyone be interested in this service?

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.
