I was at Steve Parker, MD's Breast Imaging and Intervention week long course. You can find Aredia links in the Cancer Spread to Bone and High Blood Calcium part of this still in progress part of my breastsurg.net web page: http://breastsurg.net/breast.cancer.advanced.htm This page has general breast cancer chemo info, but nothing about Aredia: http://breastsurg.net/breast.cancer.chemo.htm Gail Waldby, MD Huron Clinic SD At 10:29 PM 3/21/2001 -0600, you wrote: >Question re: Aredia. > >I've been on the OBGYN list for almost 3 years and spend most my time just >reading and learning.

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.
