One of my first attendings in residency in South Africa was S. Joel-Cohen. His book is based on the time and motion studies he did on many normal uteri - He took about 20 minutes per hysterectomy.

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.
