OK, Bob - how do we MEASURE the enhanced *quality* of life issues? Is there a quality of life issue for the woman whose anxiety is reduced by taking the progesterone after several SAb's and out of phase endometrial biopsies even though we have not proven by EBM that we are indeed improving the pregnancy outcome? What am I missing? I AM interested in what I am overlooking.

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.
