Viv-

Good question;I'm not sure. Some of the discomfort with this arises when pelvic exams are performed by medical specialists who probably have no business doing them. For example, I once knew a plastic surgeon who performed a breast exam, pelvic, and rectal exam on every plastic surgery patient, regardless of the procedure. Although he was licensed to practice medicine, and thus perform pelvics, what valid reason could he have for doing a pelvic on every rhinoplasty patient? Have a good day.

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.
