AIUM Accreditation and the Hippocampal OafFrom: MARK LAWSON (lawson98@juno.com)Mon Dec 22 18:41:42 1997
Right now the AIUM Accreditation Commission is requiring that the physician be able to see the films/sonogram within 30 minutes as representing adequate supervision. Josh Copel Dear Dr. Copel, What do you think of this 30 minute thang??? IMHO.... Soon I'll be "live" scanning to my interpreting physician sitting on the beach in her cabana looking at TV screens from around the world, asking the patient to take a deep breath or turn on her side over the internet..... the point is that the 30 minute rule is political garbage in a fruitless attempt to protect physicians...... like the cutter of the stone in the Hippocampal oath.... don't you agree???.... Please don't read this as disrespectful of the function and need for my physician/colleagues.......... My patients aren't seeing there obstetrician for another month, 30 minutes seems lame to me and I believe will bring restriction of trade issues to bear........ I'd like to see KUB's CXR, lab studies and other diagnostic tests fulfill that requirement. Jingle bells. :-) I do appreciate the opportunity to see these matters in a better light, hope you can help........... Sincerely,
-- Mark Lawson, RDMS -- Texas

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.
