Arch Gynecol >Obstet 1987; 241 (suppl):S101-S106.) My recollection offhand is that Chalmers >was making reference to a ca. 1975 US govt report from the Office of Technology >Assessment, or something like that. Yes but it was superceded by the comments in the preface to "Effective care in prgnancy ... " when it was pointed out that the Cochrane collaboration had completely turned things round and maternity care was now a leader in seeking and obtaining evidence on which to base our practice.

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.
