If shed face the consequence of my action (I.e. proscribing OCPs in a high risk situation) then I'd be liabale. If she refuse medical advice, continued smoking, and became pregnant, with an adverse outcome, then would I be liabale? I attempted to modify her behavior to maximize her outcome. She refuses, why must I "face" the consequences?

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.
