Charles Bloom, MD -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Dean Huffman . Sent: Friday, March 28, 2008 6:56 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Patient Arbitration Pacts Are Alarming Attorneys , Patient Arbitration Pacts Are Alarming Attorneys The National Law Journal Binding arbitration agreements between doctors and patients -- in which patients waive their right to a jury trial -- are becoming more common, a trend that could put patients at a disadvantage if medical malpractice disputes surface, attorneys warn. A growing number of physicians, nursing homes and health care institutions are asking consumers to sign these agreements before offering services, says Stuart Ratzan of Miami's Ratzan & Rubio. http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1206614812624

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.
