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. >> Actually, as geography goes, there are TWO American continents, North America and South America. I don't remember where Central America fits... I think most of it is lumped in with North America, but I don't remember where the dividing line is. I'd have to look that up. Regarding races and cultures, there's an interesting AP story in the newspaper today on "Indigenous Mexicans fight to preserve heritage" which talks of the primarily-Indian North and Central Americans, descendants of the Aztecs and Mayans, who are mad at being lumped together with descendants of Spanish settlers as "Latinos" or "Hispanics". Some of them are even changing their names back to Indian names and trying to look for their roots and Indian culture. The movement is apparently called the "Mexica Movement", from an Aztec word (Meh-SHEE-kah) which identifies indigenous people from Mexico... And so it goes... Joe P.

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.
