The cap on damages supposedly discourages (to some extent) malpractice suits and also keeps medical (insurance) costs down.

As far as federal court, I see no logic in that unless it's simply for uniformity...

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.
