So mid-America would be Central America. Anyway, throughout the Americas, except Canada and United States, a great percentaje of the population, (in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic it would the majority) is "multi-racial" as has been called in this post and it is not an issue. In the more "pure" families it would be, but it only a minority. Just to clarify "mid-America" geographically and racially. Now the United States, I leave that to the "US listers" as Garry calls them.

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.
