I would call it being available for a specialty consultation and I have NEVER encountered a specialist in ANY field, including OB, who refused a phone call with a request to consult on a patient. That's pretty tacky if you ask me. Isn't there a hospital policy on refusing consults at your hospital? Is there a "no-doc" call schedule for emergency OB's? Yes I do usually refer my ob u/s work to our OB's. I do also answer general medical questions for them. If the place you're in is that short of OB's, isn't the other guy glad the FP's are seeing some of the routine stuff and only bothering him for the important stuff? Or, if there aren't enough patients to go around and he is resentful, he should be glad to come in for a fully prepped and worked-up c-section. I would think that's easy money, but what do I know? I'm just an FP.

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.
