agree that 15 minutes to do a complete scan including setting the patient up, taking a history, doing the scan and communicating with the patient is too short a time frame. In our practice, a physician scans every patient that is first seen by the certified technician. If we feel that he or she is taking to long then we will finish the exam and communicate with the patient.

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.
