I usually do, in part because often nurses are bringing in other equipment and I can't count how many times some relative has contaminated my table (and that's just the ones I know about...). Baby is out, send them along with the baby to the nursery window and get to work.

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.
