That's correct, TECHNICALLY. We were talking about the "court of public opinion".

And WITH prejudice means you've been PREJUDGED... in other words, you've been judged and you're off the hook - they can't get you again.

WITHOUT prejudice, while it sounds better, means you've NOT been PREJUDGED... in other words, no court has made a decision - they can come back and try again later if they think they have more evidence.

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.
