I appreciate your comments--you know I do-- let's see in 2-3 years what the recommendations will be--maybe I'll get a grin or you a wider one :-) At Sat, 29 Jan 2000, Luis Sanchez-Ramos wrote: > >At Sat, 29 Jan 2000, Efrain Ramirez wrote: > >>>Luis -- I am sure you did not mean that I take this issue as a "laughing matter"<< > >What I meant was that the problem of neonatal infections resistant to >penicillin-like drugs is a serious one and should not be taken lightly. >We should all contribute in preventing it by not utilizing antibiotics >unnecessarily.

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.
