He looked at cases of Poly diagnosed by AFI and cases diagnosed by subjective evaluation. He found many non clinically significant cases in those diagnosed only by AFI. OTOH, the subjectively diagnosed ones had clinical significance. Dan R. Daniel Braun, MD FACOG Clinical Professor Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Indiana U.

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.
