There was a technical bulletin released last month. The recommendation is at first visit, 20 weeks and then q 4 weeks (provided all are negative). I am aware of no studies that support this increase in frequency. I am wondering if others plan to follow the guidelines and how the change was made. Dave Buck At 09:04 PM 9/19/96 -0500, you wrote: >

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.
