Welcome to the list....sadly, if RI is similar to SE, and I suspect its the same all over, you'll have a lot of patients with potential need for the MOM program. Your input and views should be most helpful for all listers.

I am now practicing full time in addiction medicine- specifically opioid dependence and methadone maintenance therapy (MMT). I developed and coordinate a unique program at Kent Hospital in Warwick, RI called the Mothers On Methadone (MOM) Program- a support and education program for expectant women on MMT for the treatment of their opioid dependence.

Thank you, Sharon

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.
