Hi Betsy, I don't have national stats, but I can tell you that some hospitals around here don't know what a spontaneous labor is anymore. Truly frightening. I HATE non medically indicated inductions. Actually, I'm not crazy about ANY induction, but know some are necessary.

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.
