Andrew, would you please check the material put out by Aldo Vacca, the inventor of the Kiwi. He has multiple papers in the literature and has even written a poem "It's more posterior than you think!". I gave you the URL to an excerpt from that poem in the first response that I made referring to the Kiwi.

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.
