We have recently moved from booking 18/40 scans to a 12/40 'dating' and 20/40 'anatomy' scan. No one has made a fuss over any extra work yet - I'm surprised actually. Maybe it's because "all" our patients end up having dating scans anyway!

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.
