Personally I think the attitude differs between the Land of the Fancy Elections and ANY other country.

Actually, in Namibia there isn't much PC, fortunately. And as far as general societal attitude is concerned it's even a little bit better, there is just none about this non-issue.

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.
