rotating and I don't mind delivering OP. These ones however will often

I thought the BOARD test question answer was to deliver an OP as an OP... Does anyone have a newer perception on that?

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.
