Utter nonsense.

A nothing-can-go-wrong attitude is clearly not the proud badge of experience that anyone who considers themselves smart and careful would ever wish to wear.

And for what gain?...to force a delivery by Dr. Special on a convenient day? Why not have a colleague cover your practice if your patient labors at an inconvenient time? Is that not even more convenient, careful & smart?

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.
