But I agree strongly with Steve that 14 is way too young - I have been more comfortable with 16-17 years (ie seniors). Of course some younger kids are more mature than their older counterparts so individualization is in order. But when dealing with "unknowns" I would limit this to the older kids. -- Rafael Haciski, MD FACOG Gynecology & Infertility Assoc.

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.
