I don't know about other members of this list, but at times I wish some would. Seeng 25-30 patients per day is a pretty speedy treadmill to stay on, I have more than enough to do to keep busy. You also have to consider what the vet has to do or not do with his time compared to us. How many vets produce more than cursory notes about what happened during the visit/procedures they perform? How many have to contact insurance companies about prior authorizations for procedures? How many of their records have to stand up to an insurance company review or medicare audit? How many are paying $20-30,000/yr for malpractice insurance? Not the Vets I know!! Your comparing apples and oranges, when comparing Vets to MDs.

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.
