once again it's not the section rate that counts - it's the INDICATED section rate that does. i suppose if one's practice has a disproportionate number of OB's previously quoted as preferring elective section - you are going to meet up with strenuous cultural re-education.

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.
